Liisa Kaupmees submitted this simple and romantic optical illusion. All I can tell you, is that even if the sailor lifted his arms from his women of desire, she wouldn’t fall. In fact, she probably wouldn’t move an inch. Tell me, how can this be? Did you spot the illusion? It took me a minute to understand it. Hope you can beat me. This is Liisa’s message: “Hello, Illusion of a couple is in the attachment, couldn’t find original source. You must have heard it hundreds of times, but I am a big fan of your site and visit it every day. Keep the good work going!”
Which made me wonder, which widget do you use the most? Optical Illusion of The day for facebook, your PC desktop, Mac Dashboard or simply you have it just in your Google Homepage?








its a bird’s eye view. shes lying down on the ground over a ledge. He’s standing at the bottom of the ledge, and basically her body is right where his torso is.
i actually had to read the comments to get it, haha.
but…awe<3
Or, alternatively, he could be leaning over the edge, holding her all of four and a half feet off the ground and all of you are taking this to seriously.
lol I saw it immediately, so i was looking for any other illusion… which of course wasn’t there. But now I’ve seen the exploration above, it looks quite cool.
THEY ARE NOT LYING DOWN
The girl is standing on a REFLECTIVE surface and then it changes because the mirror stops and pavement begins
there is a ledge where her foot is
Number one you right she is lying down and the sailor is standing on a lower platform.Ya.That’s it ya I knew it all along
uhhh reflective surface? Are you an idiot? Where is the reflection of her or her shoes? She is obviously laying down…
EWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEW!!!!!!!
o.m.f.g….cant you see?…look at her feet, their actually open hands like ready to grab something
i took me around 5 mins to figure this out >.<
The explanation below is absolutely right. This picture was taken at the Centro Cultural de Belém (Cultural Centre of Belém) in Lisbon, Portugal. I immediatly recognised the location so there was no illusion for me.

This I think is no optical illusion. Look at the sailors hands how tensed they are. And also how the dres is pulled to the bottom of the picture. Most of all the pavement stones (the small square blocks at the bottom do not have a correct structure for a wall.
That is the street and there for the girl is hanging and would drop if the sailor let go.
Nice photo anyways”
