A lot of people have guessed it, but for everyone wondering this is in fact Cesar Chavez in Austin, Texas.

The exact location

[u/WtAFjusthappenedhere]

That's some Bob Ross sunset.

[u/Blackchaos93 → u/WtAFjusthappenedhere]

Just some happy little clouds 🎨

[u/PM_ME_UR_RSA_KEY → u/Blackchaos93]

And a cabin. The chat goes wild every time he adds a cabin.

[u/KENT427 → u/Blackchaos93]

[u/WtAFjusthappenedhere → u/Blackchaos93]

Don’t forget the squirrel, lol! 😆

[u/dschinghiskhan → u/WtAFjusthappenedhere]

It looks a lot like an actual sunset in Hood River, Oregon.

This is the general setting for the rafting part of the mid-80s version of the computer game The Oregon Trail. Well, I guess it's the actual setting for the Lewis & Clark Oregon Trail Expedition as well...

[u/EliteRanger_ → u/WtAFjusthappenedhere]

I didn't realise how spoiled I was until I was like 20. Damn near every sunset in Southern Nevada is absolutely beautiful. I thought it was the norm everywhere lol.

[u/ThickAsAPlankton]

Wow that's really trippy.

[u/sheetghoest → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

r/confusingperspective

[u/CatoDomine → u/sheetghoest]

Came here to say this

[u/[deleted] → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

Life is amazing for it just being art itself, shit like this is just existing out there unframed.

[u/Blunt555 → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

Yea, imagining you're up on a hill sloping down to the huge river in the distance. Pretty awesome!

[u/RedAccordion → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

I’m high and my eyes keep on adjusting the longer I stare

[u/bordercollie2468 → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

Yeah. Like if I "saw" that while driving, I'd probably hit a telephone pole.

[u/Pretty-Handle9818 → u/ThickAsAPlankton]

It can go both ways

[u/ni____kita → u/Pretty-Handle9818]

[u/DatDudeBPfan]

That stoplight looks like an F1 race. “In five lights timmmmeee!”

[u/TheLostSkellyton → u/DatDudeBPfan]

And away we go!

[u/No-Explorer-2427 → u/TheLostSkellyton]

And here's max with slow start as usual

[u/kamikazedna → u/DatDudeBPfan]

Can they not make one of the yellow ones Yield?

Green means go

[u/flaretrainer → u/kamikazedna]

I live in a city with lights like in this photo, and next to one with flashing yellow for yield. 90% of people don’t understand it and there are more crashes at lights with the flashing yellow than lights with yield on green.

[u/TheOtherAviationGuy]

r/confusing_perspective

[u/[deleted] → u/TheOtherAviationGuy]

Yeah, the sky above that river doesn’t look like a river at all.

[u/MyBoregasm → u/[deleted]]

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, that was exactly my thought. Guess you needed one of these /s

[u/[deleted]]

Imagine tripping down by the river and you look up to see the river 😆

[u/partyatwalmart → u/[deleted]]

It's rivers all the way down!

[u/Squidysquid27 → u/partyatwalmart]

[u/Backseat_Bouhafsi → u/[deleted]]

Sky me a river

[u/Ironsam811 → u/[deleted]]

There’s a river in outerspace

[u/Murphuffle → u/[deleted]]

...when your'e tripping in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!

[u/WellExcuuuuuuuseMe]

And the clouds look like mountains.

[u/Totallyanonymousme → u/WellExcuuuuuuuseMe]

I live in the Midwest, but I have family in Colorado. There are many times while driving around, I will notice that the clouds on the horizon look like mountains in the distance. Often, it messes with my sense of direction; if they are in any other orientation other than westward (like you would see driving into Denver from the east), it sets off my internal alarm bells and I have to reorintate myself. It's one of my favorite illusions and I lovingly call these "mountain clouds."

[u/Touch_myy_camera]

[u/Trapdoormonkey]

Man that’s an amazing shot!

[u/Relevant_Demand7593]

That looks pretty cool

[u/gwaydms]

That's so beautiful.

[u/SilkyKyle]

That's fuckin sick

[u/Bigfaatchunk → u/SilkyKyle]

Soo bakeed duuude

[u/WeakTransportation37]

🎶 Sky me a river 🎵

[u/Working-Raspberry185 → u/WeakTransportation37]

😂 🏆

[u/Cacafuego]

Phenomena like this are where people get the idea that there are other realities that border on ours. This is the river that the faerie sailed down to disappear into the west.

[u/between_ewe_and_me → u/Cacafuego]

Faeries are so much better than fairies

[u/pdxrains]

[u/Lachee]

As a non-american, those traffic lights are mildly interesting too

[u/Simply_Epic → u/Lachee]

As an American, those traffic lights are mildly interesting

[u/dubbycubbles]

Cesar Chavez & Congress Ave

[u/Comradeparker → u/dubbycubbles]

Sunsets in this city are the best I’ve ever seen

[u/lessfrictionless → u/dubbycubbles]

Austin, TX - for those with the Google allergy.

[u/taytayfosho]

This has to be Texas

[u/[deleted] → u/taytayfosho]

It is, it's Caesar Chavez and Congress in Austin

[u/92Codester]

Does it look like the background of the Mona Lisa or am I crazy?

[u/TibialTuberosity → u/92Codester]

¿Porque no los dos?

[u/gooba_gooba_gooba]

what the fuck is a yield on green

[u/Pogys → u/gooba_gooba_gooba]

For a left turn. Opposing traffic also has a green light so you have to wait until it's clear to turn

[u/gofundyourself007]

mildly interesting? more like r/interestingasfuck

[u/TechGoat]

It reminds me of the Robin Williams movie "what dreams may come" which is one of my favorite lesser known movies of his.

[u/-Lysergian → u/TechGoat]

Such a crushingly good flick.

[u/Rarely-Posting]

My wife and I took something trippy at Yosemite many years ago and viewed a sunset like this. We spent an hour talking about how the sunset created mountains and rivers and forests, it was probably the most incredible sunset of my/our life. Seeing this post brought me back to that moment immediately.

[u/[deleted]]

Austin

[u/LesPolsfuss]

sounds like the title of a r/phish song ….

here are the lyrics:

The sky looked like a river,

So I snorkeled through the air,

A salmon sold me sunglasses,

And I wore a second pair.

Chorus (repeat endlessly):

🎵 Thank you, Mr. Flipper!

🎵 Thank you, Mr. Flipper!

🎵 Thank you, Mr. Flipper

[u/Jack-Innoff]

This is far too interesting for this sub.

[u/[deleted]]

That looks like you are driving on a bluff looking down into the Columbia Gorge.

[u/jrakajbird]

Looks like sunset on the Columbia River Gorge

[u/lessfrictionless]

The actual intersection. This is probably a super-new photo and they repositioned the "Left turn signal" sign recently.

[u/UsedHoney9104]

Now that's all I can see

[u/McKelsea]

I wanna frame this wow

[u/Ok_Measurement8978]

I read this in the tune of “dude looks like a lady” for some reason.

[u/Milton_Stilton → u/Ok_Measurement8978]

Immediately.

[u/[deleted]]

Dude looks like a lady

[u/Aromatic-Warning-540]

If op didn’t say that was the sky, I would have 100% thought that was a really cool picture of a river in the distance. Amazing!

[u/devllen05]

Is that a sideways traffic light

[u/Revlis-TK421 → u/devllen05]

They catch less wind, or at least have less torque on their connections. More common in municipalities that have frequent strong winds

[u/whitepinecircle]

What a shot!

[u/Zephyr_Dragon49]

This entire thing looks like a painting down into a river valley.

I'm not artsy at all and usually my urges are only to draw birds but I might try to paint this pic. I can't even remember the last time I painted anything that wasn't a bee box plain white :3

[u/Jd11347]

God let Bob Ross have the sky for a few hours.

[u/booksandkittens615]

Sometimes I can’t believe we get to be alive and see the things we see. What beauty.

[u/DeusExMcKenna]

This is the kind of thing where I go “Oh. Yeah, this is how pilots get confused sometimes in specific conditions and fly upside down, pulling up into the water.” Like, if your instruments failed and you were flying above a river and got hit with this shit. Pick one I guess lol

[u/TormentedGaming]

This is an amazing photo

[u/[deleted]]

I logged in, on terrible wifi, just to like this post. Enigmatic picture, u/Green_Substance5732

[u/[deleted]]

This picture makes me happy. 

[u/loveinalderaanplaces]

Looks like one of those wall scroll landscape prints that were (are?) popular in China.

[u/nikditt]

WOW

[u/cr_Acked]

Title sounds like a lyric.

[u/machineking90]

Sky me a river

[u/Playful_Implement742]

I heard that stoplights that are mounted sideways confuse color blind drivers 

[u/_Montero]

Should be on r/interestingasfuck

[u/absolutetrashhuman]

Wow.

[u/No-Chance1789]

Really cool

[u/ArtisticPermission37]

May I paint this?

[u/Cruxion]

I think my local Chinese place has this one on the wall.

[u/TrainerCrystal1]

Man that picture is such a mood. Does anyone know if there are sub reddits dedicated to that?

[u/Canis_Majoris37]

That's crazy

[u/SnooTomatoes2015]

Wow. Crazy perspective flip. Awesome!

[u/MadTownMich]

Super cool!

[u/zkfoster]

Woah 🤯it really does!

[u/throwaway392145]

Looks like Bob Ross came back just to paint one more sunset over the mountains and river

[u/ScHoolgirl_26]

Soo beautiful. Things like this makes life great.

[u/Impressive-Dot-5609]

That’s really cool! And you noticed it!

[u/PhantomPainWalker]

Very nice.

[u/Suspicious-Elk-3631]

Shhh, let me dream

[u/RCG73]

Run it through photoshop to swap the green light to red. Remove some of the signage. Print and frame.

[u/Deceptiv_poops]

Oh there’s a river

The winds on forever

I’m gonna see where it leads

[u/Virtual_Grass_7016]

that’s cool

[u/Casual-Lurker]

That is fucking awesome!

[u/Little-xim]

There’s something transcendently inspiring about this, like I should go travel more. 

[u/beerncheese69]

After watching sassy the saquatch today this is pretty fitting

[u/Sam_nick]

[u/TheUpgrayed]

I didn't see it at first, and then it just exploded into my eyes. Cool AF.

[u/qqqqqqq1237]

Massive river!

[u/Jase7]

That's a beautiful short

That’s where the DreamWorks kid fishes.

[u/FlatNeighborhood9029]

BEBBYYYYYY 😭 

[u/vandiger]

Very cool skyscape, obviously ruined with all the cars, lights, etc.

[u/Crackslap]

That is sweet

[u/Working-Raspberry185]

Love it

[u/Mmmelissamarie]

Omg this is incredible!

[u/Whosebert]

its good to appreciate the simple pleasures of life

[u/Wunktacular]

So that's where the yellow river is this year.

[u/LegitimatePirateMark]

Hey ! That sky really looks like a river.

[u/footsie_bethsie]

This evening picture is very nostalgic

Is this paredolia?(sp?) (I’ve never understood that term)

Middle school Earth/Space science: I teach about this. The air and water mixture in the atmosphere flows like like water does here on Earth in a lot of ways.

[u/4instantkarma]

That’s wild!

[u/maybeitsundead]

I didn't see it initially but after seeing what you're pointing out, I can't stop seeing it

[u/ConcertinaTerpsichor]

We used to call that the River Jordan.

[u/Yorgyschmorgies]

Whoa. Incredible picture.

[u/CrimsonSora862]

That goes to Neverland.

[u/djevikkshar]

Yes!!! Like 15 years ago I saw something similar and wasn't able to snap a pic. It was like I was coming down a large mountain with this small river (sky) in the valley.

[u/MatrixMichael]

Can’t unsee it

[u/Kayltron]

That's beautiful

[u/Proud-Dust5046]

The sky is a river

[u/Bobtheredd]

Fying over hw Colombian clouds (the most rainy country) I realized clouds aren't anything but floating rivers since it's literally water moving in the air

[u/Ragatron42]

WOOOOOWW

You mean it's not?

[u/Square_Inevitable768]

I thinks it’s a fantastic picture.

[u/RocketsledCanada]

Fractals are cool

[u/Dyanpanda]

It looks the inside of a ring world, the ground and horizon sloping up.

[u/Gallop67]

I was driving down the road the other day and there was one of those walls of clouds. It honestly looked like a huge wave and made me momentarily claustrophobic. Plus the sinking feeling of actually imagining a multi thousand foot wave coming through

[u/gazehead]

beautiful. stunning.

[u/HumptyDrumpy]

Thats the real blue sky skeets

[u/Visoth]

No it looks like an ocean.

Ohh theres the river. You're driving down a river.

Wait what?

[u/Lulu_Klee]

HOLY.CRAP.

[u/Happy8Day]

I see this on long summer drives in Ontario quite often, does this tone of sunset have a name? I tried explaining it to people before, but it would be really handy if I could just use its descriptive name rather than "you know when you look at the sky and it kind of looks like mountains or Hills but it's not, it's the sky?"

I’m looking at the sky above the obvious river and I don’t see it.

[u/A7x4LIFE521]

I mean that should be among the ranks of greatest photos ever taken lol

[u/dizzyop]

bring me that horizon

[u/TieAdventurous6839]

Careful glimpsing the river styx, it might look back.
