What would your reaction be if you saw tiny versions pictures of things we think of as typically very large? You might say they’re unbelievable or rather a product of photo manipulation. I myself was dumbfounded the first time I saw these.
According to The Great Marcus Tullius Cicero, “All great things start from small beginnings.” And so they are… the little versions of bigger things!
#1. Baby Elephant
The Asian elephant or the Elephas maximus is the largest living land animal in Asia. It has an average shoulder height of rarely exceeds 2.7 m (9 ft) for males and 2.4 m (8 ft) for females.
#2. Baby Volcano
This tiny volcanic island was spotted about 970 km (600 miles) south of Tokyo in late November 2013. But after numerous undersea eruptions, this has become a giant, as it should be.
#3. Baby Watermelon
This isn’t actually a watermelon but a green zebra tomato filled with tomato gel and black and white sesame seeds.
#4. Little Biggest Turtle
The leatherback sea turtle or the Dermochelys coriacea is the largest living turtle and is the fourth largest modern reptile.
#5. Bonsai Of Redwood Tree
This is a bonsai of the Redwood tree, the tallest tree living now on Earth which reaches up to 379 feet (115.5 m) in height (without the roots) and up to 26 feet (7.9 m) in diameter at breast height.
#6. Little Castle On A Hill
The “Broadway Tower” was built on a “beacon” hill where beacons were lit on special occasions. This was built for Lady Coventry. When Lady Coventry wondered if a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester — approximately 22 miles (35 km) away — she sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. Indeed, the beacon could be seen clearly.
#7. Miniature Wave
Part of French photographer Pierre Carreau’s AquaViva series are what he calls macrowaves – close-up photos of miniature waves that crash like larger waves, but displays details and transparency that are not as visible in their larger counterparts.
#8. Real-Life Hogwart’s Castle
The miniature model of Hogwarts Castle – the crown jewel of the Harry Potter Art Department and was built for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone.
#9. Smallest Rain Cloud
This photo was posted by reddit user Inertbert on the social networking service and news website.
#10. Tiny Tornado
This was photographed by NASA and was described as “a dust devil in Arizona”.
Please share these cute, little, tiny things and maybe compare them with their larger counterparts.
