It's said that sometimes all you need is a new perspective. This is generally meant in a metaphorical sense, but why can't it be literal?

The perspectives you'll see here might not shake up your whole life, but they'll definitely offer you angles and views you haven't contemplated before.

Adjusting your perspective to see indoor reflections juxtaposed on an outdoor setting is always kind of jarring — and especially so when it all lines up so well.

"Too much cat."

People with multiple cats likely see stuff like this all the time. Basically, cats are such mysterious little goblins that you can't rule out the possibility of one of them getting really long.

"This colleague of my GF in a jacuzzi looks like a tiny man in a sink."

Photos like this are strange, because once it's suggested to you that this is a tiny man in a sink, it's hard to see it any other way.

"Walked downstairs and did a double take."

On balance, I'd rather have a human companion and a dog companion, not a human-dog hybrid companion. I guess either way, it's still a companion.

"Tiny Chewbacca walking away from the camera."

I saw this for what it was: a little brown dog on the beach. But look at it and think of Chewbacca. You'll see it.

"Cruise ship at Coal Harbor."

When they drydock ships for repairs, they have to come out of the water entirely. I guess this is what they mean.

"Tiny truck."

It's wild how a turning truck can make it look like it's...well, not quite a truck for ants, but definitely a truck for small loads.

"Smol horses standing on a fence."

This photo just gets me thinking of how awesome it would be if cat-sized horses were a thing. They'd be an awesome pet.

"I need an exterminator!"

Depending on your level of arachnophobia, you'd either investigate further and see this as a harmless shadow, or you'd burn the house down.

"Bowling ball to the face!"

I love how this photo looks like she's about to not just get hit by a bowling ball, but by a really large bowling ball.

"Russia’s new helitrucker."

Military spending has always been through the roof, and I guess that will continue if we're just smushing helicopters and Jeeps together.

"Sailing through the sky."

I thought this was an example of fata morgana, an optical illusion that can make boats appear to hover. But I think it's just a case of the water being the same color as the sky.

"Four legs versus no legs."

I've looked at this photo for awhile and still can't figure out what's going on. There are two people and four legs, but there's so much more to it than just that.

"Legs."

Here's more legs content, only this time it's a pair of dirty old utility pipes that look weirdly leg-like. But if that's the fashion these days, it's news to me.

"CatShelf."

Wait, does this cat actually chill out like this? If so, that's the cutest, dumbest thing I've ever seen.

"Glass truck."

This reminds me of video games that allow you to customize any vehicle into a chrome behemoth.

"We can now project the news into the sky."

Reflection of TV screen makes it look like it's projected onto the sky

This is a TV screen reflecting out on the window, which makes it look like it's in the sky. It's either that or a taste of our dystopian future.

"Nerf gun barrel is rifled."

I learned two things today: the barrels of Nerf guns have rifling, and the barrels of Nerf guns are really cool to look through.

"A cherry tree at night."

I love the stark contrast between the cherry blossoms and the dark sky. It looks like they're floating in space.

"The snack I made for my dog."

You know how dogs get single-minded when treats are on the line? This photo's a perfect representation. Talk about tunnel vision.
