Are you wondering if these people are in Lilliput or are they in the land of giants?
Well, No! This is no story from Jonathan Swift’s ‘Gulliver’s Travels’.
At first glance, this mind-bending video could be mistaken for special effects. But the incredible scenes – walking on a tight-rope and leaping between lollipops – are really just optical illusions.
Travel blogger Kristel Segeren and some friends played with perspective to create these inventive tricks at Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat in Bolivia. The seemingly endless flats also made for a perfect canvas to take these shots.
Segeren, who runs a blog called ‘The Tiny Travelogue’, said:
“On the first day of our three-day trip across Salar de Uyuni, we drove out to the whitest spot we could find in the area. Once there, we couldn’t resist snapping some famous perspective pictures. I can tell you one thing – it is not as easy as it looks.”
Impressed? You must definitely try this at home!
