Palm Tree Shadow Optical Illusion

3 comments

Palm Tree Shadow Optical Illusion is a cleaver way to raise awareness about saving trees.  The post to the right side of the pictures reads “Nothing can replace a tree” but yet the shadow looks nothing like a post.  This one is a little obvious, with the difference in shadows that the palm tree was painted, but never the less till a cool illusion and a good way to send a message.  For some more Tree optical illusions check out the Science world Beaver Trees, the Dieing Plant corpse or the Rubin Freshness Bag Optical Illusion.

3D Painted Face

2 comments

3D Painted Face is a pretty cool optical illusion created by P. Broomfield. Broomfield is an optical illusion lover who wanted to make one of his own. This glowing 3D face was painted using uv paint and black lights to give it that pop out look. The 3D face was painted in the corner of the room using contrasting colors, this is what gives it the 3d effect when viewed straight on. This effect is simillar to the 3D Gorilla illusion but was probally done using light or a projector to post the skewed image onto the wall to guide the painting much like the 3D painted rooms.

Painted Building Mural Illusion

6 comments

Need a new way to brighten up the neighborhood? Just around the side of this building is a bright and color full mural of the building its its neighbors.  Such murals are a good way to brighten up dark  alleys or make over an old graffiti wall.  Another cool similar idea is of a building in Paris that was fitted with warped molding and painted as if it was a melting building.  And of course theirs always the Quebec city mural.

The In or Out Optical Illusion is a pretty cool picture, as you stare at this column look carefully at the top.  Does it appear to be a hollow shaft going down the length of the column? Do you see a small pyramid above the column? It all in the  lighting my friends. This awesome shot was taken by Prashanth Mahagaonkar. So what do you think In or out?

So what do you think is it going in or out?
