“Prepare to Question Reality: Explore These Stunning Photos That Play Tricks on Your Mind!”
The Mothership Above Colorado
Taken by Marko Korosec in eastern Colorado in May 2013, these storms are technically known as low precipitation supercells, but by storm chasers, they have earned the nickname “motherships.” Such storms have a persistent, rotating updraft and can lead to tornadoes and are known to also drop large amounts of hail and rain. This particular image won first place in the 2014 National Geographic Traveler Magazine Photo Contest, due to this mothership’s otherworldly appearance. If we saw this in real life, we wouldn’t know what to make of it. Could be a storm, could be a magical phenomenon. Ever seen a city floating above the clouds? Keep reading to see it!
Iceberg Of Newfoundland
On a kayaking trip off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, the photographer came across this odd-looking iceberg. Although icebergs are not unusual to come across in this country’s Atlantic region, clearly there is something different about this particular one. Almost a perfect and clear slanted line, only part of the iceberg appears to be transparent. This occurs when snow freezes at different points in time, which results in the folds, layers, as well as the density of the ice causing this unusual formation. It looks like the world’s most beautiful natural ice slide.
The Floating City
This picture looks like it was taken straight out of a science fiction film. If you’re lucky enough, this is the view you get to see every day if you work in the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. This particular phenomenon only happens a few times a year and causes Dubai’s skyline to be totally engulfed by a deeply dense and vast fog, allowing the skyscrapers to peek out from under it. This tends to be associated with the weather when it changes from cold to hot and vice versa. The fog usually clears up by 9 a.m., so people rise early to catch a glimpse of this spectacle.
