People all over the world, whether good or bad at photography, share a similar instinct. Whenever the sun’s about to go down, everyone will have some form of capturing equipment out.

But it always feels like no picture you take could capture the full glory of a sunset – but this one manages to come quite close. Photographer John H. Moore took this picture at the Scripps pier in La Jolla, California, where the sun aligns perfectly with the pier twice a year. Many photographers scramble to the location to capture this masterpiece, but only some manage to do it as well as Moore.

This photographer seems to have captured something straight out of those kids’ nightmares. The unsuspecting woman is just drying clothes, but the timing of the shot makes it seem like she’s directly in touch with a ghost.

This photographer captured a plane passing in front of the supermoon, and even this plane’s smoky trail adds something beautiful to the moon’s glory.

Possible Camera Used: Samsung Galaxy A3
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $70-$120*
Sometimes you come across a picture, and it almost seems like a CGI shot that might have been curated for a movie or TV show. After all, with the advancement of AI and CGI, one can never tell whether a picture is real or just a figment of someone’s imagination that was turned real using software.
Right Timing? /explicandoo.com
One can say that for this picture as well. The timing seems perfect, and the way that the toilet lights up seems right out of a movie where the hero will now discover some treasure lying in the depths of this toilet. In any case, we can’t tell how everything aligned for this shot to come about, so maybe we should just enjoy it for the marvel that it is!

Where to Buy: Canon
Avg. Cost: $3,699*
Renewable energy is now all the rage, considering that fossil fuels have really jeopardized the world. But one can’t deny that these sources are extremely expensive to put up and hence, are not as common as they should have been by now.
A Windy Day @r/pics /Reddit.com
But slowly and steadily, we’re moving in the right direction. This picture comes from Western Nevada and showcases fourteen wind turbines in the same location. They might have been captured in a way that makes them look like a malfunctioning piece of equipment, but in reality, they’re a huge need of the hour, and we’re glad they exist.

The streets of New York City are always lined with the craziest outfits. An hour-long walk out there, and one may find themself submerged in a modeling catalog or a Pinterest board that you’ve filled with the craziest costumes you could find at 3 a.m.
Taking That Hairstyle to a New Level /explicandoo.com
And what is an over-the-board outfit without the right hair to accompany it and make it a tad bit more special? This unsuspecting individual seems to be walking the streets entirely unaware of the fact that they’re blending in so well with the tree behind them that the eye of the camera might even think them to be a wizard of some sort!

Where to Buy: eBay

A Hairy Affair @r/aww/Reddit.com
It seems like animals love their parents the same way humans do, well, if not exactly the same, then at least quite similarly! This young foal has an expression filled with pride after using its mother’s tail hair like hair of its own, and we’re all here for it.
189. What Are Those?
Possible Camera Used: iPhone 8
Where to Buy: Walmart
Avg. Cost: $130*
We’re all familiar with the famous ‘What are those?’ vine that everyone can get quite a few laughs from. But the same words were a lot more disheartening for this person to hear as they had their feet up in front of the TV at the same time.
What Are Those? /explicandoo.com
Although, the fact that the statement comes from Pedro Pascal is like ointment on the wound because, let’s face it, nothing that he says could ever make us feel bad because who doesn’t love Pascal?
190. A Simpson Love Story
Possible Camera Used: Google Pixel 6A
Where to Buy: Best Buy
Avg. Cost: $449*
As they say, love always finds a way. Whoever said that Romeo and Juliet was the best love story, surely hadn’t heard about Marge and Homer Simpson. That is quite possible, considering that the Simpsons came hundreds of years after the fateful tale of Romeo and Juliet, but no one can deny the love Homer has for his beautiful wife.
A Simpson Love Story /trendingnator.com
Sometimes, all we need are some cartoons to remind us that love truly exists and that soulmates might just be real. Just as Homer finds a way to look at Marge from across the screens, indeed, love will always find a way, or so they say.

Avg. Cost: $3,699*
Ever since fantasy movies started getting popularized, people have tried their own hand at trying to capture the best photo that makes them look like the star of their own fantasy movie. But the truth is, without special effects and thousand-dollar cameras, it can be quite challenging to recreate those masterpieces.
The Perfect Hero /imgur.com
That was not the case with this Imgur user who coincidentally captured a picture of their brother looking like he was about to float off on a special mission to save his planet. Maybe it’s true what they say; the best photos always happen by accident.
192. A Special Marketing Campaign
Possible Camera Used: Galaxy S
Where to Buy: eBay
Avg. Cost: $100*
Marketing teams have really been cracking it up with out-of-the-box ideas because everyone needs to do something different at this point. Those giant refrigerators are always a perfect backdrop to market your product because everyone will come across it at least once in search of a drink, and they might just pick yours.
A Special Marketing Campaign @r/pics/Reddit
These refrigerators can often also offer the bonus of becoming the perfect background to an individual’s photo – such as this one where the old man seemingly looks like a tribal chief wearing a long headdress made out of these drink bottles. But if it helps in marketing the product, who could complain?
193. A Double Cross
Possible Camera Used: Canon 5D Mark IV
Where to Buy: Canon
Avg. Cost: $2,499*
Nature is extremely powerful, be it in something as visually appealing as a rainbow or as terrifying as a lightning bolt, and sometimes it crosses itself for an epic showdown that everyone stops to stare at.
A Double Cross @r/mildlyinteresting/Reddit.com
This picture captures not just one, but if you look closely, three marvels of nature in the same shot. The lightning bolt seems to bounce off of a double rainbow, making for quite a rare shot that you’re not likely to come across quite a lot, and that’s what makes this picture so special.
194. The Perfect Escape
Possible Camera Used: Nikon D7100
Where to Buy: Walmart

The Perfect Escape /shximai.com
Photographer Richard Silvera managed to create this beautiful shot but guess what? It came not from a camera but from editing software! Silvera used a NASA rocket picture along with a sky shot he captured himself and combined the two using Photoshop and Lightroom to create this magic. Even if the shot might not be real, we can still appreciate its dynamic beauty.
195. Prey or Pray?
Possible Camera Used: Canon EOS Ra
Where to Buy: Best Buy
Avg. Cost: $1,400*
Our science textbooks have been filled with fictional diagrams depicting the food chain in order for us to understand better how the Earth’s ecosystem keeps its balance. However, as fascinating as it can be to see that food chain in live-action, it can also be quite terrifying.
Prey or Pray? /imgur.com
This photograph of an owl almost ready to grab the tiny mouse elicits many emotions. One can almost feel the power and glory of the owl through the screen, as well as the terror that the mouse might feel in a while.

Avg. Cost: $5,500*

The Perfect Shot @u/kravmagarocks/Reddit.com
This magical shot looks like nothing short of a fairytale and is quite striking for the human eye to look at. The model must have had to endure the roughness of the sand and many little insects that might be crawling throughout this area, but this beautiful shot almost makes it all worth it.
