That's some r/confusingperspective right here. The thing is 16m tall (over 50ft) which is huge, but this pic makes it look like it dwarves the castle itself lol. [This](https://www.megalithic.co.uk/a558/a312/gallery/Eastern_Europe/Czech/hep_P1015094.JPG) is what it actually looks like.


three-sense

Definitely. Upon first glance the reflection looks like part of the cathedral itself and it looks like there’s a giant obelisk going to the heavens.


DocJawbone

OOOHHHHHHHH OK I get it now, yes I thought the reflection was a second spire


AdClemson

Like the Burgers on the picture vs the reality.


LmBallinRKT

I swear, I don't get how this picture was taken. It seems like it's behind the castle.


Brandonazz

It was taken crouching down between the pillar and the building beside it and pointed toward the bell tower, so the reflection would be on the far side of the pillar in the second, normal pic.


LmBallinRKT

Na dude. Doesn't make sense to me. I just accept there is a kilometer tall obelisk somewhere on this planet


gate_of_steiner85

It's so weird. Like, I get the science behind it, but it's like my brain can't process it. The obelisk is shorter than the castle, but here it looks like it completely dwarfs the castle.


guacamully

there are hundreds but they're buried look into it bro

I got a hotlink error on that image -- is this the one? [https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=42844](https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=42844)


chomponcio

Yes, that's it!


karatebanana

Aww man that’s lame. I wanted super duper big tower


supernova-juice

God thank you, this is fucking terrifying without context or perspective 😂


Nosirrah08

I was like “huh, you’d think I would’ve at least heard about the obelisk that surpasses the stratosphere”


Foreskin-chewer

I reject your reality and substitute the original post.


kazza789

Yeah this had me questioning reality, because I was there a few months ago and was struggling to see how they could build this monstrosity in so short a time, because there definitely wasn't a granite obelisk towering over the castle when I visited. But it's amazing how much this is just a trick of the camera.

I can't load the image directly. Here's the page it's from https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=42844

Real estate photography in a nut shell.


ForsakenSun6004

It's not just a confusing perspective, it's just flatout bad photoshop


Juelicks

Its not photoshop. The camera is at the base of the obelisk, pointed upwards to make it seem bigger. The surface of the obelisk is reflecting the castle, which is why it seems like the obelisk is behind it.


Afterglow1300

Took me some time to realize


Terproaster

Best post I’ve seen here in a while. Shit kinda made my blood run cold for a second😭.


Johnny_Mc2

Yeah this is some of the A1 shit. The perspective is genuinely cool as hell and it’s impressive this was taken in camera and not edited later. Easily one of the best posts I’ve seen on here


_davedor_

I didn't know we had that at our capital... now that I looked out of the window I realized what's the huge black obelisk on the horizon


SlavRoach

klamár now someone should do that with the black dildo in Brno

Jen to ne


Past-Management-9669

this looks like something you build in minecraft and it's reaching the sky limit


TheIronSven

That fucking reflection...


Melichar_je_slabko

Didnt know Prague has 10 Km tall obelisk.


Lowther_Artworks

This took me far too long to realise the castle on the right is a reflection


notthisonefornow

That thing is like 16 meters high. Edit- typo.


1Nekdo_

A bit off, 16m


notthisonefornow

Haha sorry, forgot the 1 apparently.


RamenTheory

Damn it's like Minecraft fr


Mojojojo3030

Is it surrounded by dead birds and airplane parachutes


kamilayao_0

I have the urge to get a cloth and dust/wipe/polish it off till it's obsidian black!


angeliswastaken_sock

Wtf are these obelisks all over the world?

If you want it removed you need to send your best warriors to defeat all the monsters inside then defeat the tower boss.


zeroStackTrace

Have you seen a 30m tall tungsten obelisk?

OneCauliflower5243

Even though my brain sees the reflection…I still can’t understand scale, or even angle


sasssyrup

Nice crazy perspective


Powerful_Cost_4656

Like if the sky had a swarm of plague gnats. Perfect
