Sometimes you look a photo and it doesn’t hit you right away, it waits a second to catch you off-guard, it sneaks up on you to make your brain short-circuit in the best way possible before you catch up and function as usual again.

These are the kinds of pictures that trick your eyes, play with perspective, and make you question if you’ve been staring too long or not long enough. At first glance, everything seems normal but give it a second to really settle in your brain and suddenly, nothing is as it seems.

These photos really blur the line between illusion and reality, so blink a couple of times before you say something and prepare to do more than one double-take.
