Tower Optical Illusion

Tower Optical Illusion is a spectacular photo taken by Sabine form flicker.  This photo was taken down a street in Singapore.  The amazing thing that makes this is an optical illusions is the same picture when placed side by side gives a different perspective of the same image. Look at the clouds and the tower beside the building each one appears to be leaning a different direction.  Also check out a similar Leaning Tower Optical Illusion for another example of this great optical illusion.

Spider Effect Optical Illusion

Spider Effect Optical Illusion is created using 2 images, one normal and the other inverted. The two images are flashed back and forth at a rapid pace.  The contrast shift causes your eyes to perceive the image as moving. If you stare at the theater doesn’t it look like the spider’s coming out at you? Awhile back i posted a similar illusion called Flying through space, there is also a cool 3D Dinosaur optical illusion that uses a similar principle of flashing 2 different perspectives of an image back and forth. Enjoy the Scary optical Illusion of this creeper spider!

Ghost Optical Illusion

The Ghost Optical Illusion was uploaded by one of your viewers.  I’m not sure who exactly uploaded it but if it was you be sure to comment and give some more into on it! If you look at the smoke around the girls you may think its cigarette smoke or breath in the cold air, I don’t really know for sure. If you look closely behind the girls you will notice a very distinct figure of a man behind them.. Is there a ghostly presence sneaking into to this photograph or is it just some optical illusion thats all up in smoke! What do you guys thing? Do you believe in the super natural?

Optical Illusion Moving Image

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

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?

Stairway Optical Illusion

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

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..
