This is ultimately a study in bias and how we choose to take pictures of the same things.
I once stopped my car (in the middle of the city) to take a photo of an old, bright red truck over the crest of a steep hill. The woman who lived in the house I parked in front of asked if it was a class assignment, because several people had apparently stopped that afternoon to do the same. I thought that more beautiful than the photo itself.

A couple was captured in the same photo at Disney years before they met: https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2010/06/couple-knows-...
Too bad the link to the original is now dead.

It also tells us sometimes we fail to see the beauty around us.

#25This is great! When I look at each picture with one eye simultaneously, I see the image in 3d.
You can also cross your eyes such that each image overlaps each other to get a persistent 3D representation
New found possible love, stereoscopic photography. Honestly the stereoscopic effect is absolutely beautiful, even more so that each individual photo

#26(I realize that there are a few details that you can use to tell these apart, but,) Who gets to register the copyright on the image?

#27Stories like this remind me that in distributed systems time becomes a very imprecise concept at small scales.

#29These two exposures surely overlapped, with the known photo probably exposing for tens of milliseconds on either side of the flash, but the lighthouse exposures might not have overlapped at all, yet captured a far more exact slice of time regardless.

I could hold of for a few seconds, but my eyes kept rejecting the image. It's like they somehow knew that they were more than the usual spacing apart (if that matters, for stereoscopic images?)
My eyes did this too up close, but could focus once I backed up.
