One day, photographer Kenichi Ono went for a walk and accidentally stumbled upon a bird standing at the edge of the water. But it wasn't just a bird-it created an optical illusion!

The lower part of the wall on which the bird was standing had a dark area that was reflected in the water below.

The height of the wall and the shooting angle created such an effect that the reflection of the wall extends down to the very edge of the water.
