The photo was originally taken by Laurent Laveder, and is part of the Top 10 Astronomy Images of the year 2006. Probably we’ll be seeing many “Best Of 2006″ stuff, as the year passed us by. Hope you [...]

Alex Berkowitz sent me another fire illusion. In a way it’s something similar to WTC illusion, but you decide. In my opinion, we can find whatever we search for in these photos, but Alex has an interesting interpretation: “This is a photo that was taken by the Department of Fire and Rescue Services. I cut [...]

Caitlin Parks sent me these two photos she made. They are really fun as you may see. When I think about it, it so simple to make your very own optical illusion. Everything you need is just a little bit of imagination and there you have it! I just hope that cat doesn’t fall on [...]

Steve Chabot is the person who managed to beat gravity! As you see, he managed to do something, no one else has done before!

It’s like all the illusions lately have something to do with levitation… This one was submitted by Sebastian Malm with the following explanation: “Hi there! I was looking at the website for a performance venue in the Estonian countryside and I stumbled across this amazingly cool picture. [...]

Update: This illusion was phottoshopped! Stated by the artist. Dear users, I’m sorry for this post, I found out only few minutes ago it was edited on computer. You can read it on utrave.org forums.
