Amateur photographer Nicolas Locatelli, 20, just wanted a picture that captured the red sky at dusk over Briones Regional Park in California.
He didn't even realize until later that he perfectly photographed the fast moving clouds as they formed the head of a fire-breathing dragon.
"When I saw the image, I was pretty intrigued," he said in a Caters News Agency press release. "The way the sunset lit up the cloud at the mouth of the dragon made it look like flames were coming out of its mouth."
"The image was timed perfectly too. [It] was taken with a zoom lens on a stormy day so the clouds were in the distance and moving quickly so I got really lucky taking this picture," he added.
Locatelli showed the image to his friends, and they thought the same thing, so he decided to post his picture to Reddit. The image was received with tons of positive feedback as it went viral.
