 Pyramid Pillar Illusion
Category: Double Meanings | Added: September 26, 2009 |  5 comments
This photograph taken in Bad Langensalza, Germany shows one of many pillars placed around a fountain. The illusion here is that the pillar can either appear to be hollow or to have a pyramid on the top depending on which way you look at it. The shadow on the right gives it away slightly but its still quite convincing. ( More... )

Cat Dance Illusion
Category: Double Meanings | Added: September 18, 2009 | 7 comments
Special thanks to artist Patrick Trotter for sending in to us this picture he's painted of a black cat. Which way is the cat facing ? It depends on how you look at it, like many other "double meaning" illusions the cat can appear to be facing away from you or towards you. If you have trouble seeing it the other way try gazing at the image for a while - you should see the cat suddenly switch directions, see if you can get the image to switch back and forth. ( More... )
