80 Photos That Prove Context Changes Absolutely Everything

Look at these photos. Now, look again. How sure are you that what you’re seeing is actually real? What you think you see isn’t always correct! An odd angle, a shift in perspective, some different lighting, weird dynamics—they’re enough to trick your mind into seeing something that isn’t quite there. ‘Misleading Thumbnails’ is a fantastic online community whose members share confusing and odd photos that trick you and make you do a double-take. All with wonderfully misleading headlines, too, to make the process even more enjoyable. We’ve picked out our favorite odd and funny optical illusions.
