Physics Challenged Optical Illusion

This was pointed out to me by an anonymous commenter. I contacted the photographer and he graciously permitted me to use this here. Check out Steve Chabot's other photos on flickr.

It appears that the law of physics don't work the same on this spot of earth. Maybe it is one of those mystery spots that tourists flock to every year. All I know for sure is this image hasn't been manipulated in any way.
