The oldest known optical illusion is thought to be a 15,000-year-old carved stone figure, which means sometimes reality is more complex than what you see at first glance. Like, for example, the lake you see in a beautiful landscape pic may actually be the roof of a car. These sort of mesmerizing things don’t just happen to us every day, but worry not.

Bright Side is no Harry Potter, but the photos we gathered here might have you wondering what sorcery this is.
