Hmm, seems it’s time for another true optical illusion. Sorry people, there aren’t so many pure ones, so I have to post closest things I have. Luckily, I found this set of photos from Perth, Australia to show you great impossible object. Just in time to celebrate my Croat team victory in waterpolo world championships that was held in Australia as well. It’s an art installation or a statue of some sort, that gives an impression of impossible triangle, if viewed correctly. Inside this article you can see photos of it from different angles. It’s the same idea as the Unity triangle, that was also featured on MI. Anyone saw this in person? Is the effect as good as it is in the photos? You tell me!

    Wow, that rings true to life. A lot of times we jump to conclusions and judge others but when we only see things from a different perspective it could be entirely different.
    Very nice picture, thank you.

  23. At School

    Wow you live in Australia. See ya i do read the text!!

  24. guitarking

    I could see how it was done right after seeing the last photo. If you look carefully, there’s a crack between one of the shafts that is visible. And I agree with leet, it does look a little like it’s floating in the first picture.

    The sculpture is at the round about on Plain st, East Parade, Brook St East Perth.
    For those with google earth the pointer says it’s at 31″57′05.68″ S 115″52′36.87″ E elev 11m

    you can see it clearly from above :)

  26. scienzia

    I still don’t get how the top corner may look as if it was attached….

    great illusion

  28. scrawf

    Damn, I was just in Perth last week, if I had’ve known this was there I would have made a special trip to see it.

    Hmmm, maybe I’ll just save these photos & tell people I went there, yeah, that sounds good!

  29. Me haha!!!
