The blogger received with gratitude the following email from an e-buddy Ir. Hon Too Fang aka the ‘Hoax slayer’ in respect of the above pictures.  The original subject of the email received by the blogger was 'Amazing Pictures" and not "20 Amazing Places in the World" as renamed by the blogger.

Ir Lau, this email has been well circulated. It has some untruths.

Firstly the Stone Mirror in Istanbul is just a hoax. No such stone exists.

The Monaco yacht is just a concept drawing, nobody is willing to put in a billion US$ to build it.

The Heart Island in mangrove delta of the Vaza-Barris River, Brazil cannot be true because the photo shows sandy islands and palm trees (likely somewhere in the middle East).

The photo showing a giant moon rising cannot be genuine but digitally enhanced (for a real photo taken with a long zoom lens, the hills will be magnified too, not the moon alone).

Then the photo on the clear water of the Bora Bora beach is digitally enhanced too. You cannot have the shadow of the boat separated from the boat itself.

Not an email worthy of circulation.
