You people can sometimes be a real pain in the ass ;) I know sometimes there needs to be flaming and criticism, but at least give me props for approving even your negative comments (as long as they are in clean language). I made a mistake, you criticized, I listened to you and responded, deal closed. Let’s move on! :) Hehe, don’t take me too serious being mad at you, but take me somehow. Lol! Concerning the yesterday’s illusion, I like it fine, and if you don’t, well you should. Now let’s see what I prepared for today…
Loïs Levy sent me this photo of some Ghost Cars army. They are something like vampires, well not exactly – these Ghost Cars have reflection in mirror, but aren’t visible in real life. I think this makes them anti-matter vampires or something. Don’t know quite frankly. There is also possibility they are visible, but when you take photo of them they disappear, something like we used to see in Hollywood movies, when someone takes photo of a ghost. I don’t care much if you like this one (well I do actually), but in my opinion this one is awesome illusion, and isn’t as easy to solve. Can we do it together? Still friends? Enjoy!

In my opinion this is, as many have said, a picture taken from inside (possibly a courtyard) that looks through glass doors to a parking lot.
The lack of a camera man is explained with the cover of one of the columns on the glass door and the use of an auto-timer.
The “space” seen in the windows above is explained by the fact that past the glass, the building extends a certain amount of meters above the entrance (which explains why it’s so dark there – it’s the shadow cast by the overhanging portion of the building).
The carpet is just an example of poor interior design. ^_^ Nice photo – it really gets you thinking!
I think many of the hypothesis above are very good, but no one will fully explain the photo. The most common approach is considering that the glass door divides the courtyard from the car park, but that alone would mean that the building is extremely thin, and there would be no room for the housings above.
I think the trick is that the wall is not aligned with the glass door, they are not on the same plane. The bottom-right corner is a good example, they don’t seem to be in touch. I think the wall plane is closer to the observer, and the door lies behind.
This would explain why the shadow cast over the upper area of the door is so big, this would be difficult if the wall were just surrounding the door. There’s also the fact that the door looks as tall as the windows, which doesn’t seem logical.
So, it seems the photographer is on a low roof, and at its edge there’s the wall of the building, and the wall has a hole through which you can see the door, fitted in the hole. The courtyard is on a lower level, and the door is at the other end of the courtyard, so the building is over it, leaving enough room for the housings, and thus making it possible for the car park to be right behind the door.
Well, it’s just another hypothesis, though at least it would justify the interest the blog author has put on the photograph ;)
It’s very obvious this is a trick picture. If you look at the left side window pane, you will notice it is on an angle therefore the reflection we see should also be on an angle but the ground is just as straight as the rest of the picture.
I agree with Kendall 100%.
if you look carefully at the reflection in the left most part of the window and the right most part of the window, you can see that it’s not a reflection of what’s inside, but what’s outside. this means that it cannot be a painting, because glass has to reflect it.
also, the lines of the tiles from the outside connect perfectly with the lines of the tiles in the reflection. the photographer probably line the reflection up.
i think it’s a window on the other side.
also, the window panes are far back, so it doesn’t have to be a “thin building”, just a small hallway. you can tell, because of how dark the shadow is.
Are you sure it’s just 3 of the same cars…. Stupid
I think it is a double exposure.
First exposure is from inside a very dark room/area looking out to some cars, second is of the very bright and uniformly lit outdoor area, it is cloudy & the sun is directly above so as not to cast much light inside the glass doors allowing the first exposure to be brighter than the windows.
mabey teh cars are not in hte photo
i think the cars were photo shopped into the doors
its all drawn on the doors
if you look carfully in the bush covering it you can see a head (looking twards the cars)
The photo was taken from inside a courtyard. We are looking through a glass wall at the parking lot outside.
OK, the license plates are not mirrored and the brick floor continues, which proves that it’s not a reflection. You can see windows on the building, which means the picture was taken outside, and there are clouds on the windows of the cars, which means the cars are outside. But if you look closely, you can see faint images that look like they’re on the other side of some very reflective glass. The windows must be one-way, though, because you can see that light is not passing through from the outside in, due to the shadows on the other side. No, wait, the faint images are reflections of this side of the glass. If you look at the parking lot, you can see there’s no room for the cars to get in and out, though. Is it a computer-generated image made with a ray-tracer, like POV-Ray? You can see some spherical object on the reflection of the tree on this side of the window, that could be a light source for the ray-tracer.
look rlly rlly closly just before the glass and just after the red stuff you can tell his on a roof
this 1 is ptless. its taken at an angle so that the reflection catches further back than usual so that it gives the appearance that a the parking lot isnt there and that the cars arent either. the reality is just that the parking lot and the cars are behind the set-up angle
FOR THOES OF YOU THAT DON’T KNOW, THE SHUTTLE OF A CAMERA (THE CLICK NOISE) IS ACTUALLY A SMALL MIRROR TURNING VERY FAST, THE GLASS DOORS ARE TINTED WHICH MAKES A MIRROR… NOW TAKE A PICTURE OF A MIRROR WITH A MIRROR…WHAT DO YOU GET…
THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH

Was it taken from the inside of a building with the door being black glass?
What in the name of my dog is so optical illusiony about this picture….. 8-|
EASY!!! COME ON PEOPLE!! Its two seperate images.if you look close you can tell it was layered in and blended almost perfectly hence the license plates are not backwards.
So many things, so different than reality. Just see the simple things? See some even more in depth details as I explain.
Just take a moment and look closely at the bottom edge of the window frames. Notice on the left the window the ANGLE, and the reflection inside the window, the bricks aligning do not do as a REAL REFLECTION would do with an adjacent window at a slightly different angle. The bench also in the reflection is NOT what is in the foreground. Compare them and see. The many differences show the fact that this picture is a product of paint shop pro or photo shop or some graphics editor software, or even magazine pictures cut up and pasted together and a new photo taken of it. Either way it does allude the majority of you who view it, as I see from your posts. And even those of you who disbelieve it, mis-believe it, and are also tricked visually by it’s deceptiveness… I enjoy looking at the growing collection here, it’s very time consuming if allowed. I think the more people who do look at these, and pay attention rather than jump into something, and quickly make a loose comment, may come away more intelligently than when they arrived… The REAL JA37 was here…
or maybe its just a huge door sticker of a previously taken photo? lol
there is one window that face a little bit to the right, but the reflection on the mirror, is straightly facing towards.
my hypothesis is that the picture was taken from inside the car using the wing mirror.
my real theory is it has been photoshopped going byt the too straight black lines around the windows. ;)
the more obvious illusion is, where is the bench?
It is a real car through the window because if it were a reflection the ground in the reflection would match up with the real ground
No, the question is, wheres the guy that took the photo?
oh, wait. i take that back when i saw matt’s comment.
hello people the picture was taken by a person inside the car the cars are reflected in the window cars window is too tinted to see the person
