Don’t lose your head trying to figure this out.

Beach vacations may be fantastic if you plan. Sand and water, of course, are an ideal mix for unstructured play that often inspire most children to invent clever, undirected games and mind-bending activities. This kid was no different.

At first sight, it appears that this boy has lost his head, but on closer inspection, it looks like he buried his body in the sand. His friend’s placement is so accurate that it makes the photo look entirely believable. This portrait required consummate execution and a terrific sense of humor and, these youngsters delivered. Kudos to the cameraman for capturing this gem.
