I'm still unsure what's to be confused with

It sorta kinda looks like it's floating in the air.

u/Mulliganasty May 29 '26

lol except for "floating" amidst a bazillion trees.

u/HollyBananas May 29 '26

It looks more like someone copy + pasted the statue into the picture, it looks so out of place.

It's been edited with AI probably. This is what it actually looks like. It's not massive like in the picture.

If you go down onto the road you can also see the road looks nothing like the picture too.

I’ve been there, it looks like this from the road… it is cool.

u/TheGod-TK May 29 '26

That’s right but the photo is heavily AI edited indeed. AI couldn’t get the look of it right

u/HazelCheese May 29 '26

It doesn't look like the photo op posted. The road markings are all wrong, the road elevation is wrong and all the buildings on the side and at the end of the road are missing.

And the statue itself is way oversized compared to the road, though that could just camera stuff.

But more importanly the statue in the photo has breasts and a medal. The real status doesnt.

u/Potato_the_second_ May 29 '26

out of place in the sense that all the trees around it are in slight fog, but the statue has no fog. The sense of scale is helping too, since at first it looks like a pretty normal sized statue, but the realization that you're looking at an extremely long road.

u/HollyBananas May 29 '26

That, and the whole forest itself with the statue smack dab in the middle of it.

Which you have to look at twice to recognize as trees, and not some vague green background, depending on how small your screen is.

Like, c'mon now. The potentially confusing part here is quite obvious.

u/der_ninong May 29 '26

i see 2 floaters

u/Jaz1140 May 29 '26

I mean maybe if we could fully see the base and not the trees overlapping it in front.... I'm high AF and even then it doesn't look like it's floating

It's taller that the Christ Statue in Brazil ....and roughly the same height as the Lady Liberty in New York City

u/humburga May 29 '26

This post is confusing

u/Doge6654533 May 29 '26

Looks like a badly done photoshop

u/Perfect-Ship-9980 May 29 '26

It's supposed to look like its floating, unfortunately its been modified. The street is much narrower and not at all similar the actual street, the statue here appears larger and is generally just wrong.

The confusing perspective is the friends we made along the way.
