Paper Thin Building Optical Illusion

Leave a comment

Ever seen a paper thing building? Well check out this Perspective Optical Illusion photo below. When viewed from this angle the building appears to be paper thing (at least thats my theory).  I previously posted similar illusions such as 2D San Antonio Building. The San Antonio building gave a similar illusion using strange angles and sharp edges. Do you think this is done in the same fashion? Or did the architect just go a little crazy? You never know, check out this rotated building or this melting building in Paris.

Paper Thin building, what the heck is going on here.

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

4 comments

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!

Transparent Painted Electrical Boxes

3 comments

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

Leave a comment

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!

Optical Illusion Speed Bumps

One comment

Optical Illusion Speed Bumps are a new innovative idea aimed at slowing down drivers on the road. From a distance these perspective triangles look like small pyramids on the road.  These “speed bumps” are currently being tested and deployed in business and residential areas in Philadelphia.  As most of you might expect the novelty would wear off and after a few month drives would become accustom to this illusion and resume higher speeds; in an effort to combat them real police officer are randomly monitoring them ensuring motorist are obeying the slower posted sped limits.  What do you think about this idea? at the price of about 70$ its alot more affordable then an 800$ speed bump.. would they slow you down? I mean hey, I would probally slow down just to check out the funky street art 🙂

Cloud Optical Illusions

Clouds Optical Illusions are created using common objects with clouds as your paint and the sky as your canvas. Using some creative props and angles you can come up with some pretty amazing shots. Similar illusions like the Statue Blowing the Clouds and spraying out the clouds. Although not all of these are created by special perspectives. One of Mother natures great phanomana’s Mammatus Clouds which are a spectacular site to see!

Extreme Leaning Optical Illusion

Extreme Leaning Optical Illusion from the lens of Steve Chabot. These kind of Snapshot Illusions can be pretty tricky to solve.  My initial theory was that the picture was just taken an an angle, but if you look at the vegetation it appears to be growing straight up as the shot was taken.  If the hill was slanted then the trees and plants would be leaning in the same direction as him. So what do you think, just  a slanted camera or is there more to this snapshot Illusion?

Some very Extreme Leaning!
