"When Perfect Timing Meets Hilarious Accidents: Photos You Can't Unsee
7. This Perfect Picture Was Meant to Be
This picture, which perfectly harmonises nature and human shape, catches an amazing moment in which only coincidental photography would allow. The picture portrays a man lounging on a tropical beach, but what really makes it amazing is how precisely the distant mountain range forms an identical silhouette reflecting his slung shape.
The optical illusion is so exact that it might be difficult to tell where the human figure finishes and the natural surroundings starts. This serendipitous alignment provides a visual depiction of these age-old stories about mountains being the resting place of giants, therefore echoing ancient legend. The ideal time and placement needed for this photo make it even more remarkable; the angle of the sun, the person's location, and the mountain's natural contours all had to line up to produce this amazing visual impact. Viewers may require a double-take to truly understand what they are seeing the black mountains against the sky produce. This picture reminds me beautifully how occasionally the most striking images develop from ideal periods of alignment between human presence and natural surroundings instead than being planned.
