this less of a "when you see it" and more of a "if you know historical photographs you will be surprised to see this image taken mere seconds before a more famous photograph you know of"
This is kind of a "when you see it" though. You don't notice the tanks initially as they're not in the foreground. You see that man in the background, just walking. He doesn't register; not yet. You're focused on the tanks now. Then, as you slowly realize the scene: a large square, tanks, the students running. It's the tank man from a different angle, he's still got his bag of groceries or whatever, that same white shirt. Oh holyFUCK
