What is truly amazing is the fact that he was able to capture and weigh light with these scales.
This is a great effect caught in a photograph and to top it off this photo has not been manipulated in any way.
Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia, Canada home of the smallest light houses in the world.
Alright you got me this is another play on perspective. A Do-it-Yourself illusion that we can all try to create.
This painting-in-progress blends into the landscape well. This photo has not been manipulated in any fashion.
When I first saw this photo I thought the whole thing was a painting due to the shadow pattern created on his face by the hat. Strange how even with the simplest things your eyes can play tricks on you.
Warning: This page contains some works of "anomalous motion illusion", which might make sensitive observers dizzy or sick. Should you feel dizzy, leave this page immediately.The above is a serious warning that I borrowed from the master of anomalous optical illusions, Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, of Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan.
The Photo Artist shed this enlightenment on this photo, "Fish eye lens? No. Extreme macro shot? Nope." I'll add that there was no manipulation of this image.
How else could this effect occur?
I honestly don't know what this is but it reminds me of an x-ray of a mythical creature.

I love this visual oddity. We've seen this with craters on the moon and foot prints in the sand. The photographer has this to say about the photos.
"This is two copies of the exact same photo, rotated 180 degrees from each other.What do you think?
Are the letters on the marker raised or imprinted?
Is the marker itself slightly concave or slightly convex? "
"Despite the fundamental difference in the apparent colour of the 'blue' tiles on top of the left cube, and the 'yellow' tiles on the top of the right cube, all the tiles are in fact physically identical (grey in both cases)."
I'll take this one step further and let you know that the RGB value for all 11 squares mentioned is exactly the same R:136 G:136 B:136. The blue and yellow squares mentioned are the exact same color as the gray block to the right.
2) Cut out a cardboard mask.
In North Carolina at dusk you can often look up and see the Horned Wombat flying between the trees.
Kudos to Flickr Artist jamie B for this wonderful illusion.
This might possibly be the smallest cell phone yet.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - The Ponzo illusion is an optical illusion that was first demonstrated by the Italian psychologist Mario Ponzo (1882-1960) in 1913. He suggested that the human mind judges an object's size based on its background. He showed this by drawing two identical lines across a pair of converging lines, similar to railway tracks. The upper line looks longer because we interpret the converging sides according to linear perspective as parallel lines receding into the distance. In this context, we interpret the upper line as though it were farther away, so we see it as longer – a farther object would have to be longer than a nearer one for both to produce retinal images of the same size.
This is a fun illusion that everyone can create. Take a look at the world around you and see what you can come up with.
Here is a wonderful mural found on the streets of Pointe St-Charles, Montreal. It sort of has the "Who framed Roger Rabbit" feel to it.
"from the stairs leading to the Sacré Coeur on a Sunday: it was packed with tourists, all shooting the monument, and they were looking at me really weird, taking this big piece of lawn ! lol"What could have caused this building in Paris to sink? A massive sink hole? A broken water main? Perhaps very large gophers?
