One of the main things people do with photoshop is to make an original photo better. Be it a model with flawed skin, or maybe the lighting is all wrong. So when you take a photo of a rock and stick a house or build on top of it the results look even better than real life…

10 – Thailand

You will come to see this island quite a few times. The houses and buildings on them might be different each time, but it is always the same island.

9 – Artic

Said to be built into the rock that is underneath the snow is this home that would make any James Bond fan rather proud.

8 – Spain

Yes, there really are people who believe that this place is real. I take it those people haven’t heard of the Taj Mahal.

7 – Unknown

Part statue, part island and more importantly part house! This would be one amazing home and sure to feature on grand designs.

6 – Unknown

Many of these places of solitude would be just as nice to see and probably stay on even of there was now houses or castles on the islands.

5 – Thailand

No matter how cool it looks it was never going to have a waterfall coming from it, was it! Strangely you will come to see this island again further down this list.

4 – Nowhere

Often called “Paradise Rock” this is said to house someone who wanted to die alone. But in truth, nothing about this image is real, not a single rock!

3 – Norway

There are so many people who believe this temple on an island is real that I almost started to believe it myself! It is, of course, the Taj Mahal again.

2 – Japan

Located somewhere in Japan this rock doesn’t have an arch bottom, it doesn’t have a house on it, and it doesn’t have a cable car running to it.

1 – Thailand

Believe it or not, the rock island is located in Thailand and the castle is located in Germany! Fakes the world over it seems. But deep down I wish all of these were real places.
