Walking The Stairs?
August 28, 2006 by Vurdlak
Elise Favié from Netherlands submitted this cool picture. It even fooled me - optical illusions expert! I thought the guy in the image is lying down the stirs, so that it appears he is climbing them, and I wanted to rotate the picture before publishing it, but when I've red Elise's comment next to the photo, I understood that it was the other way arround - The guy in the picture is actually climbing the stairs!
Here's Elise's comment: "I really enjoy watching your site! Spent several hours to see all posts and links. Maybe you like this one, I made this photo in June. It is actually rotated 90 degrees, but more fun the other way."

Really nice job !
Hey, this one is good. It looks as though the guy is laying down on the steps. Not sure where the shadow is, but it looks good
maybe someone should shoot a video of someone going up the stairs, now that would be weird.
you can see when you watch the steps closely, the edge sticks out.
Would have been a tad better if the person was leaning back a bit and looking back / up towards the camera. Taken from a balcony or landing above the stairs?
As rohtop points out you can see the stairs nosing and the wear pattern as well.
The guy is laying on the stairs, and rohtop and rootman prove it. The edge of the steps and the wear show the way he is laying. Look at the angle of his legs to his feet, and the way his body leans. He is laying up the stairs, not standing.
I agree with Scott, He is laying up the stairs.
lol if he's lying on the stairs then those stairs would be really easy to trip on. The things sticking out of the stairs would make it really hard to go up them, u'd hafta tip toe.
dude,i totally don't get it,y iz that guy chilling out on the stairs???that's like totally weird,man:$
you spelt stairs wrong. there is an a it stairs
It is very easy. the picture is taken by a camera above.
this guy just tripped whilst walking down the stairs and he did not notice, and his friend took a picture be4 he did!! xD
THIS CRAZY DUDE IS NOT LYING DOWN ON THE STAIRS HES WALKING UP THE STAIRS JUST THAT THE PICTURES UPSIDEDOWN!!! IF U DIDNT CATCH THAT U R BEOND WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is obviously man lying up the stairs, if you look at his hands (palm of his hand),and angle of his feet, now who would hold hand like that while walking?:) bit wierd, isn't it.. you only put your hand alongside you when you lie down. they took picture of the stairs first, rotated it upside down then added picture with man on top of it.. easy as that..
haha
guy fell down stairs
bumped his head
