Scientists have been baffled by the appearance of a mysterious cave at West India Quay, London. It is believed that a light earthquake unearthed the cave which is estimated to be over 10 million years old, but scientists cannot explain the intense glow of green lights emitting from its depths.
By now, you should have guessed that intro is nothing more than a fiction, with its sole purpose of making this optical illusion little more interesting. What you see below is a 3D Chalk Drawing, created by world-class pavement artist Edgar Müller, whose works we posted on many occasions before. If you remember Ice Age chalk drawing, or maybe that Lava Burst optical illusion – Edgar was responsible for both! His newest creation was exhibited on West India Quay’s Festival in London. It’s hard to imagine you could easily walk over this huge cave, and that concrete pavement is still lying beneath. It took 5 days for Edgar to finish this project. Below is the “Behind the Scenes” gallery, where you can see the work in progress.

omg tht is tha most beautiful chalk drawings ive ever seen. the first one is so detailed and radiant. it must of took a long time to create tht piece of artwork.
It seems so wierd seeing Edgar standing in “mid air” as he works on the cave. Great drawing.
Just one word: AWESOME!!!!! :-D
Cool I love these Illusions (First comment!!!)
Love those chalk drawings! They are great!!!
I would love to be able to use my sidewalk chalk like that. These posts are among my favorites.
The first image of the cave pavement art you have posted is a digital draft, Edgar’s ’shopped concept of what he was going to do. It’s not his actual pavement art. His website confirms this.
wow
Wow! That’s amazing
wow, these are brilliant 3D arts!
Wow, even though you can clearly see the artist standing in the middle of it in one pic, my brain refuses to believe that it’s not actually 3D
WOW is all I can say :)
this is definately my favourite street painting illusion, amazing.
WOW! I have a sudden urge to go spelunking.
Definitely definitely my fave piece so far. This guy is pure talent.
At first reading the news really shocked me. hey guys this is truly an “exotic” website i have came across. Keep up the good work. :)
Pfft i can shit that in my toilet hole after eating skittles.
wish he’d do one near my house…I’d pretend to fall everytime I walk over it…just to see who i could trick…of course they’d have to be at the right angle…I wonder what he was thinking and indeed what is the green light?
that is fantastic
Freakin Amazing this one. Thanks!
Great depth and dimentional scenes …Truely outstanding work…Does the photo seem fisheyed or is it just me ?
Great depth and awesome dimentional illustrations……Is it just me or do the scenes seem fisheyed ?
The first one makes me wanna run on it to see if Ill go through *-*
that is sooo cool! i wana see for my self
I wouldnt step on it myself
Ok.
This is definitly strange ( for me, Im just 11). I love optical illusions, but this one is the best so far! I think my sister would scream if she was just walking to the store with mom or something and found herself in midair in a cave; my cousin and I would just laugh ( after we freaked out). Amazing! Tres belle!
Why cant we have something like this in Uk, would love to take pictures in it?
The first one is a digital draft of the project, FYI.
I would be scared to death to walk on it :)
i would not walk over that!
