It’s rare to come across a surprising sight. Rarer still to encounter something that makes you blink hard and look twice. Like a celebrity doppelgänger, or even a tricky scene brought to you courtesy of Mother Nature herself. Luckily, some of us seem equipped with a quick reaction time, so these sights get captured in a shot — for posterity.
