Istanbul-based digital artist Hüseyin Şahin doesn't just blend photos together; He blends reality and fantasy worlds to create spectacularly surreal scenes.

Though his craft of layering multiple photos is practiced by many, his unique take on fantasy photo manipulation pushes the limits of human imagination, and results in beautiful landscapes that look like your wildest dreams - or your most intense nightmares, depending on how you would feel about crossing a wobbly bridge between two hot air balloons mid-flight.

Şahin goes by the handle art.side on Instagram, and has so far amassed almost 55 thousand followers of his creative ideas. Some of his amazing photos incorporate elements of folklore, such as a photo of the Maiden's Tower in Istanbul featuring an underwater woman nearby, a reference to the ancient Greek legend of Hero and Leander, two young lovers who drowned in the Bosporus. While another unique artwork portrays a child in war-torn Syria.

Even gravity tends to get confused in this Sci-Fi world.

Come, come where heartache's never been;where you're seen as you want to be seen;Come, come to the place of shadow and green; where you'll never cry no more dear lass; where you'll never cry no more. - the mermaid song from in a glass grimly by Adam Gidwitz

Coke was the real thing until some one stepped in and said, "We are using WHAT in the mix?"
