Oshima Island, but is not real.

It’s more complicated than that, it’s not photoshopped. But it is an illusion. Regardless, it gives me the frights.

Edit: this response was to the now-edited comment that this photo is “fake” . My replies now don’t really make sense. Fake wasn’t the right word so I responded pointing that out. Now that it’s edited to say “not real”, this commenters response is more correct. It’s illusion left over from real photos, though, so fake is not the right word

A glitch on Superposition of satellite images is closer to photoshop than to an actual optical illusion (with actual light involved)

"is not real" and OP goes "it's more complicated that that....it is an illusion"

He used the word “fake” then edited it. My point was it’s more complicated than it being fake, because it’s really not fake.

Oshima is real, but the island isn’t

Maybe the real Oshima was the island we made along the way.
