Peter Bukowinski thought I might like his submission, and he was right. The motive in this picture has already been seen, but it is never boring to see new versions of classic illusion. If you look closely, you’ll notice something paradoxic in the window below. Not only does it give you something to think, but also shows an awesome fictional passage to another world. This is illusion isn’t the most complex around, but I really like the image as a whole. Enjoy and please share your thoughts…

    take a look at the window itself

    Kind of like Escher–perspective makes it appear to open out one way when you focus on the top of the window and the other when you focus on the bottom. Very cool.

    It seems you can go in or out the window

  4. Michelle says:

    I love the fact that you’re looking up at the window, at the same time that you’re looking down at it. Very cool!! =)

    depending on how you view it, is it opening in and sucking the orbs in, or the other way around?

  6. Augustin says:

    i like the way that if you look up at the top right, the windows open out, and lokking down at the bottom left they open inwards.

    Cool it looks like it sucks both sides!! –> and <–

    actually, in this image, it’s all about perspective. the top half of the window is on a different angle than the bottom half of the window. easy! :)

    If you look up it seems it’s in the right. If you look down it seems like it is in the left…

    This really looks interesting, the upper part of the window seem to be ‘normal’, the bottom part is turned 90 degrees. Nice effect!

    Does the windows open to the inside to the outsite ?

  12. Julie says:

    Yep! Cool illusion–it reminds me of a couple things:
    1) the different galaxies and our desire to learn more about the solar system
    2) the sun and the planets revolving around them — some that we know of and others in other galaxies that we don’t
    I’m not sure if either of these are “right,” but it really does make you think!

    That’s sweet how, when looking at the top of the window, the shutters seem to be opening towards me; while, when focusing on the bottom, they open out into the blackness.
    The widow seems to switch orientation as well.

    why does my computer not seem to show the comments as they are added? I’m sure someone has commented, yet I see none after a significant amount of time. Is it me or is this part of the illusion?

    WOW!! Had to look at it few times before I get the idea!

    If you look at it from different positions its a window but facing different ways!!!! woow

    Interesting…I like how it switches. Not complex in any way, but still pleasing.

  18. BamBam says:

    If you cover up the top half of the window, then cover the bottom half, you will see the illusion.

    Just want to say thanks for these illusions, I can’t wait for the next one.

  19. coolfee93 says:

  21. therealtj says:

    Those dots look like the AT&T logo. Cool one.

  22. Eva says:

    thats weird…
    if u look at the top of the window it looks like the window is facing one way but if u look at the bottem its facing a different way…
    confusing

    i cnt tell whether im lookin out the window into space or into a window at space…cool

  24. Anonymous says:

    if u look at the bottom half of the window it seems like ur lookin out the window…but if u concentrate on the top half it seems like ur lookin in2 the window from the outside…cool :)

    It looks like a chalk man, kind of, and the windows are in AND out… just look, you’ll see. :)

  26. Nav says:

    when you look at the upper part of the window, it seems like it opens out, but once your gaze goes towards the bottom, it seems like the windo opens in.

    I really like this it is so cool the way the orbs are going in at the bottom of the window and it looks like they are going out at the top. i also like the styling of the window frame to make it look like the window opens out, at the top and pushes in at the bottom. Verry Cool

  28. Anonymous says:

    this is cool!!! you can see the window from different angles and views

  29. Anonymous says:

    i think that it looks very kool be-cuz if u look at it one way then there is another way to look at it and i judt think that it looks cool.

    I already see the illusion, but i dont wanna say so others can get it, but its much like several other window illusions ive seen

  32. Anonymous says:

    yeah

  33. Anonymous says:

    hurts my head… is the window facing left or right?

  34. Anonymous says:

    Since the top and bottom are facing different directions it makes it seem like their are two diffferent windows.

    Will you people get a grip?,I mean sure it is a great optical illusion, but I’ve seen better ones,and I hope that I’m not ofending anyone,because this illusion made me think for about 30 seconds untill I got it.But for real,don’t get excited about the balls.And I hope to add this site to my myspace page.

  36. Ward says:

    If you look at the top of the window it opens in, and if you look at the bottom of the sill it opens out!

  37. Mysterious Person says:

    It’s like the monolith…a kind of philosophy.

  38. goldie locks says:

    wow it can either way it took me a double look, i love it

  39. Emmie says:

    It’s like 2 in 1!!

  40. Anonymous says:

    that is so cool and it is obvious from the second u look at it. It’s not one of those illusions where u have to really look at it and in the end u don’t get it!

  41. Mohit says:

  42. Grand Jimmy The Grand says:
