Because they are obvious fakes, particularly #7 and #27.

You can check that #27 looks nothing like that using google earth.

They certainly look stunning, but how accurate is the colour?

Easy enough to find numerous images for most of them on the web, which
confirm the pictures shown.

In a sense, all photographs are fakes because the human eye is not a
camera, and all photographic images, digital and photochemical alike,
undergo processing.

Wodney is wrong, anyway. That lake only looks pink at certain times, and
the Google Earth time was obviously not one of them. Plenty of other

But #7 isn't anything even remotely like that in real life.

You can check the seasonal variation with the satellite images.

I am *so* tired of "photos" that owe more to P/S than to physical
reality, and especially to everything being routinely passed through
the HDR filter.



Indeed. I thing you could even polish a turd and make it look "amasing"
with Photoshop.
