When nature creates its own artwork, not even our greatest artists can win against it. Since people are so fond of optical illusion art, nature also has its way to create stunning optical illusions with shadows. It uses everything and everyone under the sun to project shadow optical illusions that create fascinating visual phenomena. Optical illusion is a common feature in various forms of art such as painting, sculpture, and architecture.
There’s something about deceptive or misleading images that people find so engrossing. We’ve seen a lot of optical illusions art but wait till you see nature’s version of it. Depending on the sun’s position, all the things around us may cast surprising shadow optical illusions that can make us look twice.

Witnessing something or someone cast an unexpected shadow is just a matter of luck. Thankfully, these people were able to capture these rare instances in photos to share it to the world. As it turned out, shadows can indeed make breathtaking works of art that are both artistic and confusing.
