20 Fascinating Pictures I'm Guessing You've Never Seen

The world is full of incredibly interesting thing. So full, in fact, that it's not very likely that you'll see them all. But that's okay; some things will just always stay a mystery.

Even if you've somehow seen some of the things in this list before, there's bound to be plenty in here left for you to discover.

"Freshly excavated 2000 yr old Terracotta Warriors still showing original color before rapid deterioration. Picture taken in 1974."

So, back when the Terracotta Warriors were new, they actually had some color to them. Who knew? The fact that thousands of years later, they still had a bit of their original coloration is amazing. Too bad they don't look like this anymore, but they're still a sight to see regardless.

"Map of Africa, using Orange Peel."

You've probably seen orange peels before, and you've probably also seen a map of the African continent. But seeing that map made out of orange peels? It's a first for me, too.

I can't get over how accurate it is, from all the borders, down to the island of Madagascar off to the side.

"The Ghost Deer that patrols our neck of the woods."

I've still yet to see an albino animal in real life before, so I have to rely on pictures other people have taken to remind myself that they do exist. Even if they are super rare.

Man, I wanna see the ghost deer up close!

"Found Bender riding an owl on a bench in Fletcher Moss Park."

I'd really love to know where this came from, and who made it. Since it has an image of Bender on it, it has to have been made within the past couple of decades. Even though it kind of looks like some kind of ancient artwork.

"I found this house with a lot of seashells."

This is something I never thought I'd ever see in my life. In fact, I wouldn't have even thought about something like this existing. Who has the time to attach thousands of seashells and pebbles to the exterior of their house? Not me, that's for sure.

"These 75th anniversary coke bottles."

A quick Google search tells me that Coca-Cola was invented in 1886, meaning that its 75th anniversary would've been in 1961. So, unless you were old enough to remember the early '60s, you've probably never seen these commemorative bottles before. I know I haven't.

"Inverted photos of lava look like ice."

I'm not gonna lie, I thought that was an ice field for a split second. But seeing as it's otherwise identical to the picture above it, that wouldn't make sense. This is definitely one point of view of lava that I haven't had the chance to see before, but I'm glad I did now.

"This weird branch i found in the Woods."

This is utterly fascinating. I've definitely never seen anything like this before. I wonder if the tree branch grew like this, or if the moss on the left side is what's keeping it attached to each end.

Either way, this doesn't seem like the kind of thing that happens in nature all that often.

"The cleanest pic I have taken of a lightning bolt from my bedroom."

Okay, so you've probably seen lightning before. But getting a clear shot of it is pretty difficult. I don't think I've seen a picture of lightning quite like this one before, and it's so neat!

"This stump looks that like a shoe print."

Have you ever seen a tree stump shaped like a shoe before? Neither have I. It almost looks like someone lost a shoe, and a tree just happened to be growing in the same spot and engulfed it.

Seeing how trees do that pretty much all the time with other things, I wouldn't be surprised.

"My parrot has new feathers coming through. The old ones drop out and new ones grow through with a sheath made of keratin covering them."

I know that birds moult, but you don't always get to see it in action. It seems painful, but considering how often it happens, it's probably more like how we grow hair. Still, it's really cool!

"The Pippin, A 5th generation console from 1996, hardly head about. It was designed by Apple and manufactured by Bandai. It cost $599 USD at the time and ran Mac OS."

And here I was thinking I knew all sorts of obscure video game facts. But the Pippin is one console I've definitely never heard of. Imagine paying $599 for a console that runs on Mac OS, though. You might as well just buy the computer.

"Wat Lan Kuad. A normal temple in Thailand was built in 2 years from 1.5 million Heineken beer bottles."

Well then, there's something you definitely don't see every day. As amazing as this temple is, the fact that it's made out of over a million beer bottles makes it even more amazing. And probably very fragile.

"An extreme close up of an iPhone charging cable."

I can honestly say that I've never seen a cable up close like this before. It looks kind of gross, in a way that I can't quite point out. But it's also really cool; I feel like I've learned something I didn't know I needed to know.

"This coffee is served with cotton candy on top, when the hop vapours of the coffee rise, the cotton candy melts falls in the coffee this is called 'Mellow.'"

This seems like the kind of coffee you'd go to a cafe just to buy and take pictures of. And you know what? I don't think that's a bad thing in the slightest. I'm not sure how cotton candy would taste with coffee, but it probably isn't that bad.

"The stump of a cut-down telephone pole that was chemically treated to prevent rot, which then rotted on inside only."

Funny, they treated the outside to prevent rot, but forgot about the inside. So, despite their efforts, the post rotted anyway. I'm sorry, but that's actually really funny. And it's something you definitely don't see every day.

"This grocery store has a map of where to find items on every cart."

I can safely say that this is the first grocery store directory I've ever seen on a shopping cart. Why don't more stores do this? It would save so much time, especially when you're in an unfamiliar store, looking for something that could be in a bunch of different places.

"Doorbell belches fire when you ring it."

It looks like someone had a lot of fun designing this doorbell. And it really looks right at home alongside the stone exterior of this house. I have to admit that I'd probably visit that house like five times a day if I knew the owner, just so I could see the dragon breathe fire.

"This Geyser Right Before It Blows."

Okay, that's incredible. You must have perfect timing in order to get a picture like this. It's like a giant bubble that's about to float up to the surface. I imagine everything that happened next looks just as cool, if not even cooler.

"This was Pablo Picasso's first ever painting at age 9."

It's nice to know that Picasso at age 9 had more talent than I ever will.

I'm not really well-versed in art history, so I didn't even know he was painting at such a young age. Still, it's so cool to be able to see the famous painter's earliest work.
