Gray Diamonds Illusion
So, the diamonds on the bottom are much lighter than the diamonds on top, right? Wrong! Actually -- and you probabbly have guessed this optical illusion by now -- all the diamonds in the picture are eactly the same. It's our eyes playing tricks on us! Maybe that's why diamonds are a girl's best friend?

The Devils Triangle illusion
What is wrong with this triangle? Could you use wood and nails to build something in three dimensions that looks just like this?
In fact you can, although it might take you a while to figure out what shape you would need to construct. Why is it so hard to figure out?
Because your wooden construction would look like this image from only one very special viewpoint. Your Visual Intelligence normally rejects interpretations of images which would entail that the eye is viewing the image from a very special viewpoint.
So your visual intelligence refuses to tell you what the construction should be.
Instead you must rely on your rational intelligence to figure it out, and your rational intelligence is, in these matters, much slower than your Visual Intelligence.

Having the flame directly in the water has to be a very efficient way to transfer energy to the water. I only wonder why other folks didn't think of this earlier.
If you wish to use this photograph or any other that Georg has on his site drop him a line.

I had trouble getting this effect at start but at the end I managed to see it! Does it work for you as well? only this time it has something to do with color adapting. Enjoy...

Optical Illusions of Smoke
The following are actual photos of smoke, true some post processing was done but everything you see in these images is photographed smoke. These are the work of Csaba Mészáros of Budapest, Hungary. I asked him permission to use the "Intimacy" image and he suggested two others. The most amazing of the three is the one below titled "Mom and Baby".

Here is a short starter explanation he gave in a comment a couple years back,

Here is a short starter explanation he gave in a comment a couple years back,
"The setup is quite simple: the smoke comes from incense sticks (made in India), they are cheap and produce a constant smoke for a long period of time (and also a pleasant scent). The light source is a fashgun from side and behind. You need a black material for the background and something to shade the direct light from the flash to the lens. Plus some patience and some trials. "

Jesus and Santa Illusion
This is similar to Jesus Illusion
What you should do for the black and white optical illusion image above:
Stare at the center of the image above for at least 30 seconds. Then look at a blank white wall, or a peice of paper. What do you see? On this page you'll see that the after image of the black and white image above is much stronger than the one in color below. Take your time, sometimes it takes an additional 20 seconds before your eyes can really focus on the after image. The image looks similar to the shroud of turin, which is another famous face of jesus.
Now, instead of black and white, lets try color! For the first optical illusion image above you are looking at a human face straight on. Even though it is much more fuzzy of a picture, your mind has an easier time filling in the blanks. Can you tell who this man with a beard is above? It isn't just any old man, it's Santa! You may need to stare at the Santa optical illusion longer than you stared at the Jesus optical illusion in order for the after image to be visible to your eye.

13th Man Optical Illusion
Here we have an animated gif file. If you look closely you can count 12 little people. After the gif slides the image around you end up with 13 little people. How does this happen? I saw the same optical illusion done once with solid colored rectangles, the rectangle one is easy to see what happens, but this one is much more difficult because it is people.
If your brain starts to seize up and you must have an answer then click on the picture and it will take you to laurenceholbrook.com where they devote a lot of words and images to making this possible to understand.

Bending Lines Optical Illusion
Here is an anomalous motion/distorted perception illusion.
The apparent motion induced by the blue spots seems to cause the red lines to bend and wave. If the whole image is in motion how could red lines not be bending with the motion?
These types of motion images confuse the eye and brain. This confusion allows the viewer to perceive motion in a static image. That's right the below image is a static image and is not animated in any way.
Herman has an excellent collection of Pop art, Paintings, and Optical illusions. He has given me permission to feature his pieces here. This is just one of many. His illusion art ranges from color perception to distorted illusions.
Thank You for sharing these excellent illusions Herman.
