15+ Times the Universe Proved It Doesn’t Need Photoshop to Impress Us
Curiosities
02/09/2022

Many times, it looks like the universe has used filters to alter reality or simply made a panoramic shot while swirling in the never-ending flow of changes. It may be so surreal that we cannot believe it all ever really occurred. There are many ways to deceive our eyes. But this time, no additional “programs” were used — all the new and genuinely unique things were created from scratch.
We at Bright Side have found some spectacular objects and scenes no photoshop user’s imagination would come up with.
1. “We lit a bonfire that ripped a hole in space/time.”
2. “This small red potato looks like an anatomical heart.”
3. “A crazy rocket launch this morning”
4. “Prismatic dragonfly”
5. “This tiny newborn snail we found by our pool”
6. “A giant crystal in Arkansas”
7. “A transparent butterfly”
8. “Infinite maple”
9. “Kayaking in front of a giant duck”
10. “What is this phenomenon?”
11. “A Sassafras leaf that was sprayed with roundup.”
12. “This rock I found in Santa Cruz triggers my trypophobia.”
13. “Lights shine through this tinsel in a circular pattern.”
14. “The snow on this car melted into a roll.”
15. “The candle left a line of wax on the side as it burned.”
16. “All of my fence posts have little piles of snow on them, and this one looks like a mushroom.”
17. “Rainbow rocks in a river”
Have you seen any “Photoshop battles” yourself? Has the universe impressed you with any “magic” effects? If you’ve ever captured any, please share them with all of us in the comments below.
