There’s A Giant Blue Dragon Hidden Somewhere In Europe

Steve Richards claims that he took this impressive photo on his way from Cardiff, Wales, to Faro, Portugal. Somewhere in Europe, hidden in the landscape, there’s a giant blue dragon. Apparently, many people think it is a trick.

He claims it’s real, just overly saturated:

For the record, it is a photograph, of a real place, that I took on our flight from Cardiff to Faro.

The blue colour is from the water reflecting the sky and the white flecks are of course the clouds. The striking colours are thanks to running the original picture through Topaz Adjust 4.

Not that the above information will help anyone convinced that it’s fake, but at least it allows me the opportunity to set the record straight for anyone willing to read this text.

    I believe him.
    I was sure I had seen a Sat image similar

    If you head here on google maps, i would say it is the same place. 37.33221,-7.487744

    And this is a bit north west of Faro.

    Looks amazing from a sat image but that Photo is just spectacular
