From unlikely coincidence to trippy optical illusions, the pictures we ended up with serve as a playful reminder of the intricate dance between the human brain and the world around it, urging us to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary.

I once arrived at a holiday destination after dark and saw a tiny glowing shape in the sky. I couldn’t work out what it was. Next morning I found out it was a distant chapel half way up a mountain side, which is lit up at night.

That looks like Seward Alaska. We have a lighted Christmas tree on the mountainside every holiday season

I took the exact photo in the summer. No moon can get behind those trees because they are sitting on a mountain slope. Looked like that bright object was lighting up the trees. 372979916_...a36771.jpg
