My high ass thought I was looking at a lake the whole
The image features a scene that, at a first glance, gives the impression that it includes a body of water. It shows a green landscape with what appears to be a small tree or shrub foregrounding a bluish-grey expanse that fills the upper portion of the photograph, giving the illusion of a lake or a large pond. The lower part of the image, with a grassy area leading up to the tree, adds to the initial perception of looking out onto a lakeside view.
Upon closer inspection, however, it is clear that there is no lake. What initially seems like water is actually a solid wall or fence that is blending into the greyish sky above. The color and the lighting of the wall create a seamless transition from the green ground to the sky, fooling the viewer's eye into perceiving depth where there is none. The tree's placement against the wall also contributes to the illusion, as it appears as though it is growing at the water's edge.
Adding a humorous twist to the image is the caption that reads, "My high ass thought I was looking at a lake the whole time." This caption gives context to why the viewer might have been fooled by the optical illusion. Suggesting that the observer's altered state of mind (implied by being "high") led them to misinterpret the visual information, it exploits the common trope of drug-induced misperceptions for comedic effect.
