6169 - 3 illusions


Once you see it you can't unsee it.




Can you read between the stones?

Escher is a gift to cartoonists.

Ole Phat Stu said...

Those are BRAVE stones, if fact some are even boulder ;-)

Debra She Who Seeks said...

The only one I understood is the middle one.

Mike said...

Bill - This is a guy named Viuti. Google the name and then look at images.

Stu - That was a BOLD statement.

Mike said...

Deb - The top one is the face of a cowboy looking straight at you. The last one says "The stones will cry out". The smaller the picture, the easier it is to read. Or squint.

Kirk said...

Only the middle one, which makes sense as the cartoonist would have wanted you to get it as soon as possible, if they want to stay a working cartoonist.

Shaw Kenawe said...

I got them all. Probably because I had extra caffeine today.

Mike said...

Kirk - Viuti is definitely a working cartoonist. Look him up on Google Images.

Shaw - I had to check comments to get the last one.

Margaret (Peggy or Peg too) said...

I see nothing but a bug and the last one is a head scratcher to me. I need to lie down, my head hurts

Susan Kane said...

A cowboy! wow. Now I see it. Escher opened a whole new way of seeing things.

Mike said...

Peg - If you make the last one smaller, it becomes readable.

Susan - Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

If you are absolutely horrible at these you can usually right click / 2 finger click (Mac) and get the name of the picture. . . Even with this help it still takes me a couple visits over a few days to have the ah ha moment... Stereopsis they say. . .

River said...

Nope, don't get the first or last. I only know what they are because of reading the replies to comments.

River said...

I had to sit waaaay back in my chair to see the cowboy and the stones message.

BootsandBraids said...

Of course, the first one immediately jumped out at me; but evidently, stairs and rocks are not my thing.

Mike said...

FLR - The comments are usually where I find the answer to the hard ones.

River - Way back makes them smaller and easier to see.

Shirley - Of course you saw the cowboy! How could you not!

Cloudia said...

I didn't know MC Esher was a cowboy! More cool Interesting stuff. Thanks Mike

Mike said...

Cloudia - You saw it!
