Playbuzz camel optical illusion leaves the internet baffled

Can YOU see what's really going on here? Confusing camel optical illusion leaves the internet baffled A host of optical illusions have been sweeping the web in recent weeks but the latest might be the most mind-boggling yet. The picture, taken by photographer George Steinmetz in 2005 and posted to Playbuzz, has gone viral. Despite looking like a normal photograph, the picture does in fact appear to be an optical illusion which some people can see and others can't. So, can you? At first glance, it looks like a group of black camels making their way across the desert. If you look closely though, you will be able to notice that the dark outlines are in fact their shadows rather than the camels themselves. The lighter shapes at their feet are the backs of the camels as they head to grazing pastures near Wadi Mitan, western Oman. The image, which was first published in the Turkish version of National Geographic magazine and taken using a motorised paraglider to get the aerial view, has been confusing people online.
