What are some of the most unbelievable yet "true" pictures?

 Nazaré in Portugal became head news all over the world when Garret McNamara surfed a confirmed 30 meter - 100ft - wave in 2011. Since then it has become the hotspot for bigwave surfers around the Globe. In 2013 Brazilian Carlos Burle, surfed an even bigger wave, 32–35 meter estimated although according to some observers he didn´t complete it. This unique scenario, with the iconic red lighthouse has been the object of several photos that may look impossible, but I assure you , they´re not:

The height and frequency of the waves has to to with the Nazaré Canyon, an underwater geological formation, a funnel that starts some 200 kms from the coast, 5 kms deep, amassing huge quantities of water and energy, that are slingshot through the Canyon that ends some 500 meters from the beach, producing the highests waves in the World. The red lighthouse is high on a promontory, as you can see in this picture:

Another, less known photo is this one, also in Portugal, Covão dos Conchos, Estrela Mountain:

It looks like the all the water in the lagoon is being swallowed up! In fact, what you see is a 1,5 km tunnel that leads water from the Naves brook to the Lagoa Comprida reservoir.
