This awesome Optical Illusion is a new twist on some the old Spinning Tunnel Optical Illusion.  The artist has turned that pattern into a vortex with some funky flying VB Beatles and mirror balls flying out of it.  The image is a jpeg not an animated gif, which is part of what makes it an optical illusion! If you stare into the vortex it appears that the edges are sucking into itself.  In actuality this is a static image and not moving at all, your eyes shift focus of the contrasted dot edges. This difference on contrast on the blue circles is what gives the illusion that the image is in motion.

Architectural Optical Illusion is a pretty strange picture. This building is actually the Olympic Stadium in Montreal. The first question you have to ask your self was this planned? The curve in the tree is identical the the strange curvature of the building. I believe its an Olympic center some where.. This Extreme Architecture is pretty cool, and I would love to see more of it Was this planned? or just a strange coincidence?

Very Curved Building

Stairway Optical Illusions is a pretty cool picture taken at High Point in New Jersey.  When you look at the stair way is it going up or down? The angle of the railing kind of makes it look like its going up, but is it? or is that just part of the optical illusion!  Stairway to nowhere is another one of these crazy stair case pictures, but not quite as strange as The House that Swift Built. So what do you think where the heck are you going to end up on this stair case?

Up or down the stair case?

Transparent Painted Electrical Boxes are a neat artsy kind of way to take care of those big metal electrical boxes.   The transparent electrical boxes are very similar to the transparent screens and the transparent cube.  The first one is blended very well, you would almost not even notice it.  The second one is a little more obvious as the color is way to light, maybe it was painted in the fall! The only problem is I could see older poor visioned folks walking right into them.. Cool street art or visually impaired hazards? what do you think..

Harrison Sand Castle Competition is a extreme sand castle competition held every year at Harrison Hot springs in British Columbia. I know this isn’t really an optical illusion but I just got back from a Dragon Boating festival there and they had these spectacular sand sculptures. I could not help but to post them I was wondering how heck they get these things to stay and not crumble away, but according to one of the guys at the entrance its just sand and water that has been tampered down and compacted. Has anyone ever been to Harrison and seen these extreme sand sculptures in person? They really are an amazing sight!

Spinning Silhouette Optical Illusion that is a great way to figure out if you use more of the left or right side of your brain.  When you stare as this silhouette which way is it spinning? left or right? After concentrating on it for about 30 seconds it actually switched directions on me!  So which way does she spin for you? Can you see it spin both directions?
