{Today’s Hump Day Happy Places are all literally unreal. Maybe you’ve come across them before, and just thought it must be some exotic cool place… and when you try and find out more about it, nothing comes up! Well, that’s because they’re all fake.}1-2. The popular photo practically has a permanent spot on Pinterest’s travel page. However, this photo, claiming to be a place in Dublin called “Castle Island” actually doesn’t exist at all. The island and the castle both exist, however they’re about 12,000km away from each other. Koh Tapu, or James Bond Island (pictured on the left), is located on the southwest coast of Thailand, while the Lichtenstein Castle (pictured on the right) is located in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.3-4. The photo has been floating around Pinterest with a caption claiming that these ancient beachside ruins are the “Forgotten Temple of Lysistrata” in Greece. This eerie photo (although beautiful) is really just a clever Photoshop job. The creator of this picture simply combined a photo of the Pantheon in Rome (photo on the left), with a shot of the Benagil Cave in Algarve, Portugal (on the right).5-6. The dreamy photo below claims to be taken on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The vibrant purple trees and gorgeous light blue water seem too good to be true. This photo is actually a picture of Shotover River in Queenstown, New Zealand. The colors were obviously altered, meaning those beautiful purple trees are not real (sigh).7-8. This viral photo shows a star-shaped island inside a larger moon-shaped island. The photo is said to have been taken off the coast of Maui. This photo is only half fake. Although the crescent-shaped Molokini island does exist off the coast of Maui, the star island is simply a Photoshop addition.9-10. This creative photo depicts a subway running through a clear underwater tunnel, with captions claiming this awesome train route is located in Venice. Unfortunately, there is no underground subway in Venice, but how cool would that be?! And even if there was, pretty certain the water would not be this crystal clear. From the photo, you can see the train is a Danish ‘H’ train, running from Copenhagen to Frederikssund. It’s likely that the Photoshopper combined a photo of a train station platform with a photo of a Danish train, and threw that into a photo of an aquarium tunnel. -- source link
