Looks like it’s just a big white hole in the ground.
But if ju turn the picture up side down it becomes a globe. Weird photo.
Fredrik: It’s very common for our eyes to “invert” these type of images. Our brains have been wired to expect the light source (the sun) to be from the top, and shadows to be cast downwards. When we see a picture like this with the light source coming from the bottom and shadows cast upwards, our brains find an alternative interpretation.
