Chris Anderson sent us this interesting screenshot from Columbia Pictures’ “Quantum of Solace” intro. I had some problems spotting the hidden face at first, but when I finally found it I was convinced it couldn’t appear there by accident. I’m certain Columbia pictures integrated this guy on purpose, but what I can’t be sure is [...]

This one’s classic. Still, it can be very amusing trying to spot where the ships start changing into aqueduct and sky. Rob Gonsalves is the author behind this piece of art, but what I still can’t determine – is Rob the author of “Camels in the Night” as well? Both of these illusions look too [...]

My man – “Can” took his try on the perspective phenomenon. As we see, he was obviously inspired by Audi R8 post (or less likely by “Optical Illusion of 3 Terrain Vehicles“), and decided to convince himself from the first hand. Can’s results are really impressive! I’m not much of a car enthusiast, but I [...]

By now, you probably realized I’m not the biggest fan of Google Earth illusions. Don’t get me wrong, its mostly because people who submit these satellite screenshots see illusions everywhere – even when there aren’t any. Today’s illusions was almost ditched from the same reason.

If you’ve been following our website from its very start, the photo below may look somehow familiar to you.

Two days ago, me and my better half returned from vacation. I thought I would immediately start on the site. Post new illusions, add new functionality, etc… I forgot one little detail: Each year I return home, somewhere near the end of August, Ragweed (ambrosia ?) season starts. This little plant is a real pest! [...]

If you are new to this site you may find this extremely original, but if you’ve been following us for some time – you’ll find this approach [...]
