The Penfret Island, one of the Glénan archipelagos island, seems to sink. But, don't worry, it's just an atmospheric effect! Playing with the rotundity of Earth and with the inferior mirage, I take a series of pictures at different altitude above the sea level: from about 5 m for the upper picture, to about 50 cm for the lower one. Then, the island seems to sink slowly.
Have a look to this animation showing the island sinking:
