5623 - Illusions


It's the shadows.

 


What did you see at first?




Is it a trick? Nope.




I'll flip it for you.

Thank you for flipping that photo.

Mike said...

Sue -Even after seeing it flipped, I can't look at the upside down one and have it make sense.

River said...

That's very clever. I had to enlarge the second one to see it was hands holding a seedling in dirt.

Mike said...

River - So THAT'S what that is. I knew it was probably something else but I was staying with my first impression.

Adam said...

It's amazing how our eyes are Tricked

Mike said...

Adam - It's almost too easy.

I've looked at peas from both sides now from top to bottom and still somehow it's peas illusions I recall..I really don't know peas at all.

Mike said...

Simmons - At first I thought this was a Black Eye Peas reference but it turned out to be Joni Mitchell. It took a little work but luckily not too much.

I prefer these illusions to the illusions of competence and legality being hawked by the GOP.

Its your brain that sees. Eyes are merely sensors.

I still couldn't figure out the second one until I read River's comment. Then I couldn't see anything else there.

Yes, the flipped photo looks MUCH more real upside down!

Lady M said...

Just a reflection - I got that right away. But the gardening company ad - now that is a hooot.

Mike said...

Bill - I agree 100%.

Anon - Exactly. And your eyes invert the image so your brain is looking at things upside down. So apparently if things are upside down and your brain sees them right side up, you get confused.

Kathy - I refuse to see the actual picture. I like the illusion better.

Deb - To say the least!

Lady - It's an attention grabber for sure.

Amazing how the perspective changes when you flip the photo!

Mike said...

Martha - It's more than amazing, it's spooky for this picture.

Cloudia said...

Yes, thanks for flipping it. My phone kept compensating. Interesting post. Thanks Mike

Mike said...

Cloudia - That's funny. Your phone fighting you.
