Just like your mom always warned you, you can’t believe everything you see on TV or on the Internet. As a result of increased technology and things like Photoshop, most of us have developed a healthy amount of skepticism about photos and videos, especially those that seem to defy gravity or logic all together.
We promise you, the mind-bending photos on this list are completely real and unaltered by Photoshop or any other program. Instead, these photos appear so fantastically odd due to unique locations or pure coincidence. Also, some of these photos were intentionally taken to blow your mind by artists that aim to complicate reality with mind-bending art.
