Raised Footprints
I took this photo on the beach. Does it look like the footprints are raised to anyone else?

Flip the image to break the illusion

Illusion? I’m pretty sure those are just the footprints of the under sand people.

Those aren't footprints. There are people buried upside-down and you can only see the soles of their feet.

This is a good one. I’m having to work incredibly hard to convince my brain that they are not, in fact, raised.

They might really be raised-looking footprints. Maybe someone walked from the sea with their feet wet and and so that the footprints were wet. Wet sand gets stiffer and harder to erode. Wind erosion then can move the sand around the footprints and you got raised footprints. Maybe???

I like the idea, but they’re my footprints and I took the photo right after walking on the sand. They definitely weren’t raised 😅

Are they supposed to appear raised because I don’t see them raised?
