I had some friends visit me over the last few days, so most of the time I was showing them around the island, and making sure Korcula stays in good memory to them. Unfortunately you were the ones that were left behind, having no benefit from this. I hope I will make things up by posting this latest “spot the object” optical illusion. This is how I see this image: there is a young Amish sitting on a horse, staring at the barn. He noticed that something is wrong here. What he is seeing should be forbidden to his people (if I’m not mistaken), yet the object is standing there without mistake. Can you tell me what did the boy see? If you think the story behind this should go a little different, feel free to correct me. Enjoy!

    Two tires, and a bird in the windows of the door…

  3. Refugee says:

    If the boy is Amish, he’s wearing the wrong clothes I think

    Bog Vurdlak,
    It wouldn’t be wrong if there is no engine in it and the boy can hitch the horse up to it.
    I am new to your site and have been viewing for the past two weeks. I think it is great and I look forward to seeing all of the illusions you have hidden away.
    I had the rewarding experience of working in your country during Operation Joint Endeavor as a member of the IFOR in 1996. Croatia is a beautiful country, from Dubrovnik to Opatija to Zagreb and back down to Split. The Adriatic Sea with a beautiful blue color all its own, I was fortunate enough to see it all and experience the warmth and friendliness of your countrymen and women everywhere. Keep your great site going and good luck with it.
    Bog,
    Jim

    Pretty obvious its a car

  7. Paulie says:

    There is what appears to be a television inside the barn.

  8. i see it. i was looking at all the little details first then it jumped out at me and i can’t believe i missed it. vrooom vroom

  9. qeel3120 says:

    An automobile! =)

  10. fabiana says:

    there is clearly a car hidden into the barn, but the most amazing thing is that it seems to be driven by a pigeon… :))))

  11. I like the optical illusion very much.

  12. Domi says:

    A car! this is easy!

  13. Jhack says:

    Using as the alternative text of the image “car house illusion” is not a great idea! :D

  14. dan says:

    dont put ur mouse on the image! it will give it away

  15. Rod Hnatiuk says:

    I think the story would be more along the lines of “a technology-embracing and very mainstream child, visiting Aunt Martha on the family farm, catches a glimpse of the past in the derelict barn and the piles of clutter, and ponders on the fact that the ghost of the past he sees is actually more modern than his current conveyance… a horse”.

    Or is that too deep for a little city kid addicted to his Ipod and Xbox?

  16. Elliot says:

    I see a boy with no arms on a horse.

    Oh yeah, and an old car.

  17. I see it! It’s like a carriage or something right? Great illusion! :D

  18. Cara says:

    I’ve read all the comments and agree it’s a car in the barn illusion. I also see the TV and the bird, but nobody mentioned the refrigerator in the upstairs window. Am I the only one to see it?

  19. Commenter says:

    This kid and the barn are definitely NOT Amish. And FYI, the Amish cannot own or drive cars; but they are allowed to ride in them. Nonetheless, this is a pretty cool illusion.

  20. I could not an old car at all.

  21. I thought that there was a T.V. where the pigeon is sitting at, but looking at other people’s comment it’s clearly an old wagon.

  22. Josh says:

    I think that both his style of dress as well as his families silo conflict with the whole Amish motif

  23. Valerie says:

    The Amish boys are not allowed to have jeans, they wear very orthodox garment. So I think the boy is only a visitor here. I’m not sure about the vehicle, either.

  24. Suzanne says:

    Clearly he is Michael J Fox from Back to the Future with the ‘life preserver’ jacket…

    Wait – is that the DeLorian?

  25. qeel3120 says:

    Cara: Are you saying that the side window of the car is the TV and the small partial white rectangle you can see in the upstairs window is the refrigerator? I think they might just be coincidental, a lot of things can look like a lot of things….. =P

  26. no.johnny5 says:

    OUCH! I was blocked for the model T comment??? [O-O]

  27. Tony Mastro says:

    I don’t think this should be reflected as Amish. You would never see an Amish barn in such bad shape. You are right that Amish do not use cars or motorized equipment but if you take them out of this then it dosn’t make sense so the story has to stay the same.

  28. anon says:

    It would have been better if the answer wasn’t given to us in the title of the image (“car house illusion”).

  29. hardwaredave says:

    It’s a Model T, I also see the TV.

    But the boy is not Amish

  30. Jen Steffen says:

    I agree with hardwaredave. The boy isn’t Amish. The first thing I saw was the T.V. then afer reading the comments, i saw the car. Pretty cool either way. (:

  31. Illusions Lover says:

    look at what he’s wearing. sneakers, jeans, that jacket thing. amish don’t wear that stuff.

  32. Tiara says:

    at first i didnt see it, then i saw the word car in one of the posts and immediatly saw it and felt ultra stupid.

  33. Theresa Moss-Currier says:

    I have a photo to send you, the link at the bottom does not work for me. What address should I send the photo to? Thanks!

  34. elizabeth says:

    The description of the little boy as “Amish” is not accurate. The Amish do not dress in clothes like this.

  35. Spider says:

    Excellent one, Vurdlak! It wasn’t that hard that it only took me a full minute to catch the car, yet it wasn’t too easy that I didn’t instantly see it either.

    Some are annoying that I instantly see the hidden object, while others are frustratingly annoying that I didn’t get it at all. This is one is just right, yet the image seems simple enough, unlike the messily cluttered snowy forest with the fox and the hidden horseback riders the other day.

    As for the foreword… yeah, I still think you need to hire someone =P Nothing personal, dude! Peace!

  36. Melissa says:

    Ahh Neat! its a Wagon!

  37. Liloopy says:

    I saw a lamp.

  38. Cathy Gould says:

    Rod- I really like your story! Brilliant capsule. Thanks!

  39. Naomi says:

    i saw it strait away

  40. Alex says:

    I think the kid is looking at that oil lamp on the door frame. That’s probably a bit modern for the Amish. So is the barbed wire.

  41. Jay Webster says:

    There is a point that has been overlooked, namely that an “Amish” would never be dressed in these colors or shoe. This is just some child looking at an odd sight.

  42. Ms.Observant says:

    make ur story say the ‘amish’ boy is a visitor. real amish boys donnt look like they just shopped at a city thrift store

  43. Great site, svaka cast! samo naprid!

  44. -.- says:

    its a car

  45. chelsea says:

    Are you stupid hes not amish he is just a kid and cars arnt forbiddin they jus dont want to use all that tech stuff i know they have phone jus some and some dont evan use electric those are the old amish who dont like tech at all they re all hard work. and amish dont likke rubber or some thing just on bikes caus ethey have iron tracvtor wheels and dont mix up amish with meninight and i know what im talking about i have amish friends and one of my best friends grandparents are meninight so dont say anything that you dont know anything about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. Someone says:

    this is the easiest one i’ve ever seen in this site
    and i don’t understand how it’s forbidden to have a wagon?
    and also that’s not a very Amish kid
