15+ Pics Worthy of the “Book of Wow”

Curiosities
year ago

The interjection “Wow!”, used to describe surprise and admiration, has Scottish origins and it can be traced all the way back to the 1500s. Hundreds of years later, we still use the same word whenever we see something amazing and we can’t find another way to describe what we’ve just experienced.

When Bright Side first saw the pine cone bird, we knew we must follow its path and fly around to find equally interesting pics, and here are our results — we hope they’ll put a smile on your face.

1. “This is what a raven’s mouth looks like.”

2. “The happiest potato I’ve ever seen”

3. “My friend found this lemon today amongst normal lemons.”

4. “Rainbow on the horizon. Origin is behind the curve.”

5. “The result of a moose scratching its antlers against a tree during shedding season”

6. “Me demonstrating how big traffic signals actually are”
