What's Up With This Picture?
This lovely picture of a pair of raccoons may startle you at first. No, the rock is not about to hit the smaller raccoon. The stone is jutting out of the water, which is perfectly reflecting the sky! Now look closer. The raccoon on the left has apparently taken off his mask, not thinking that anyone would take his picture. Have you ever seen a maskless raccoon before? Link -via reddit

Yeah, looking at the "sky," you first assume that the shot was taken looking UP the hill. Then you realize the photographer was looking DOWN the hill.

Excellent shot. Without the explanation, I'd be really confused by the rock.

Heh great illusion. Even knowing that the rock is in water, my brain still wants to see it as floating in air.
