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?
i know how it works..
the girl is actually laying down on the floor and the guy is on a lower platform and he is standing while kissing her
so the different floors make them at the same height
-Nina
i still dont see it
I’m not so sure I get this one..I guess I’m not as smart ;) but could someone explain it to me..thanx :)
ahh! I dont get it! is she really laying down on a wall and he is on a couple steps below?
I think we’re seeing her a bird’s eye view of her laying on a ledge while he is standing next to the ledge and holding her.
is she lying down….
wellllll… It could be that the girl has her arms around the sailer… if that’s not it I have no clue.
i got it pretty quick. That’s super cute tho. I have this on facebook, but I check it more often from my google home page ; )
nope, i dont really get it…
first!
=/ i dont get it
cute
but i dont get it
yeah I think I figured it out…don’t want to ruin it though
theyre on the floor, not hanging from a wall
Wow i dont get it
i dont see the illusion….plz explain?
girl is laying down on the ground and the navy boy is standing but on a lower level. you can tell because his shadow does not extend beyond the ledge.
I see it now. Very cute! I like this one a lot.
Aren’t they laying down?
i dont get it at all. what am i suppose 2 b lukin @?
ohh hehe. duh.
… pretty obvious this is a bird’s eye view shot.
Can’t figure this one out!
This is a possibility: The girl in lying face down on the floor, the sailor is standing upright, and the picture was taken from above.
But what about her hair? It falls downwards towards her feet. So she must be standing upright!!
I still don’t get it.
And the shadows seem to suggest there’s nothing underneath her feet, that is, she’s not standing on a ‘surface’.
Can somebody expain?
she is lying at the ledge. he is standing with arms up
hint: look at the shadow
i saw it in a few seconds id tell but i dont want to spoil it for the others
Is her foot standing on something?
No, wait, she’s laying on a flat surface, and is he like by a wall?
i think i see it, but not sure….
shes lying down and he’s standing up this picture was taking from above.
wow i get that, its so cool
They are on the floor
-Ron-
it was pretty easy, got it in like 15 seconds
oh, i get it! theyre just lying on the ground but the way the picture was taken, it looks like theyre floating. Pretty sweet
is it a top view shot angle?
so the guys actually hanging?
She’s laying down and hugging him over a ledge…?
Seems like the lady is lyin on a floor and the sailor a few feet below on another level….. and the picture snapped from above….UNLEsS im wrong
PLEASe let me post this vurdlak! IAM THE 1ST!!!!!!!
i don’t get it, someone please tell.
cool but easy to figure out…
First! Not too hard, but really cool!
10 seconds. :) I like the illusion though.
the sailor is reaching from a window, and the lady is on a ledge. I think.
First? Wow! Great one! I see it!
The sailor is in a hole in the wall!! :)
hes on a ledge
i think the camera is a bird’s eye view and they are both flat on the ground, at least that’s what went through my mind first
first; it appears to me that the woman is laying down flat and the man is popping outta a hole, and they are having an intimate session. pshh illusions shmalussions
erm, if he lifted his arms, she’d still be holding him…
Maybe she is holding on to him…just kidding.
cool, but obvious, its a photo from above, she’s lying on a flat surface, and hes standing on ground below the ledge she’s lying on, the bottom that looks like ground is actually a wall of a building
her foot is stuck in the crack, but is the sailor coming out of the wall or is he over a ledge?
Ooohh… Its actually the ground, isnt it? So they are not actually hanging from a wall?
haha i feel stupid.
And sorry if someone got it before me- there arent any comments shown yet. Blame the delay.
I DONT GET IT! AHHHH. EXPLAIN IT PLEASE.
i dnt get it =[
wait, i’m still not quite sure.
The surface has multiple tiers. We look down on them from above. She lies on one tier. He stands on a lower tier
very nice…but i’ve seen many simular to this one. Still i like the detail on the man.
Anyone? I still can’t get it…
i don’t get the illusion…
is it cuz she’s lying down and the guy is against the wall??
T_T
i rly dnt’ see it.
I don’t get it :-/
she is probably lying over the edge of a ledge and he is standing on the ground under the ledge
oh so easy, i caught it within a few seconds, but that is a record for me as far as optical illusions go, i usually don’t get them until i read the explanation.
i use the mac dashboard widget :)
Could be one of three things:
1. it’s photoshopped
2. she’s standing on some kind of step or outcropping
3. we’re looking at the scene from above: he’s standing up, she’s laying flat (unlikely)
1st one!~!
n about the illusion, the woman is actually lying flat on d surface and the man is actually standing straight up! he just looks like he’s bending down. TQ! the ‘wall’ behind the man is actually the ground he stands on
i dont get it >.<
help meeeeee…
fanykch…
they are lying on the ground. that s a pretty bad illusion. Its okay but not much of an illusion.
its easy, its a birds eye view
The girl is actually horizontal to the ground, and the picture is taken from the top looking towards the ground.
uhm, well, I don’t see it. So maybe we are looking at the floor instead of the wall. But I don’t see why it’s the floor. So it might be something else. Can you tell me?
gr Casper
the firts 3 blocks are real, the rest is drawn
He’s standing, she’s lying on her stomach. Picture taken from above. Dress and hair are draped to look like it’s hanging.
He’s stood on the ground and she’s laying on her front on a step which is at his chest height.
so they’re just lying down, with woman on top, but where are sailors legs?
i don’t get it
This is sweet and simple – the girl is lying down, the sailor standing.
I like it.
I have tried to make you people a nice picture

Hope that explains it to everyone who started thinking about complex stuff including cranes and ropes and stuff
Wild guess:
Gravity keeps them together
Lol, very nice!
The man is lying on the floor. The photo is taken from the top.
Hmmm. I thought at first the picture was taken from above and they were both lying on a flat pavement, one on top of the other. But then i saw the brick pavement below, and i looked at the shadows and that doesn’t really work. So can somebody tell me, what’s really going on here?
dying in the floooor!
She’s laying on the ground?
I use IGoogle and see your posts every day..
I enjoy spot the object the most.
Rikke Dk
Shes lying on the floor and hes standing up on a lower floor.. photos taken from birds eye view ;)
i wud say that the sailor is standing and the woman is lying down on an elevated platform.
I wud say that the sailor is standing and the woman is lying down on a elevated platform. this illusion is very gud
i dont understand this illusion, is it a beach, and the sailor is actually in the sand?
Well, no, I can’t get the tip.
Any clue ?
Saw it straight away!
You’re looking down on them, the man is stood up leaning over the wall and the woman is led down!
so the man is sitting down with his legs out and she’s just laying on her stomach over them. that’s awesome. the lighting really adds to the overall effect. awesome quality.
The picture’s definitely taken from above.
Hello there, Im new writing here but almost everyday i visit this page…just feel like writing today ;P
is it that theres two levels and pic is taken from above. ??
really dont know but wld like to…
is a very nice one :)
It’s amazing and romantic too. I think I understand how the picture was taken, but I don’t want to spoil the illusion.
The girl is standing on the top of a staircase. Dah Dah!!
i think that they’re simply lying down? am i right?
This is very clever. I reckon that she is laying down on a ledge, and the photo is taken from above.
Well, its obvious. They’re kissing on a floor whose photo has been taken from above. First Post!
I think it took me a couple of seconds =]
Nice work.
I…just…dont get it…
what???!!
I got it as soon as i seen the picture :)
cool took me 30 sec
I really like this one,
How i see it:
Woman laying on the floor on a level of the sailor chest, he is standing on the ground.
This shot is shot from above :)
The sailor is seated on the ground and his women of desire is just lying on him. But if you look at his shadow they end at the wooden list, but that might be just a curb.
I just view the illusions from my Google homepage, most convenient for me!
Cool illusion, but I have another variation of it…when I first looked at it, it looked like it was part of a hand, nailed to the wall, as some kind of crucifixion illusion. It honestly took me a while to see the sailor and the woman!
As far as why they wouldn’t fall, my guess is that the semi-different colored dot under the woman’s foot has something to do with it!
I’m Pretty sure the illusion is whether the picture is an overhead view with the woman basically lying flat or if the soldier is leaning over a wall. Either way it is a very interesting illusion. I really like the reality.
WOW THATS FANTASTIC!!;-)
He is standing and she is actually laying down, the picture was taken from above them.
Cool… I’m the first! It took me a minute. I first thought it was digitally altered, but I now know it isn’t. Hint: forced perspective.
Yes they are lying on their backs and this is an aerial shot…not really an optical illusion more of a camera angle trick.
i assume this is a bird’s eye photo at a light angle so we don’t see the sailor’s legs. the woman is lying face down on the ground, looking over the ledge
They’re on the floor. Cute picture!
Wow… that was actually kinda easy. I won’t exactly tell the answer, but for those who can’t figure this out, think about which way gravity pushes (or pulls, or what ever it is gravity does). I actually like this one…. Keep em coming.
leaning over the wall hax
The illusion is actually quite obvious. If it takes more than a second to see it then something is wrong.
She’s laying flat on the ground and he’s standing up against the wall in front of her. The picture is taken from above.
They are on different heights. She is on a platform that is higher than the one he is standing straight-up on. She is lying flat on her stomach on the higher one, and he is standing tall on the lower one. :-) Very cool. I love it!
I get it! I am not telling though… Maybe just a hint… she isn’t vertical.
its because she is lied on a flat surface and the sailor is actualy stood on a ledge below her
Sooo rimantic !! How boy drag the girl upside and kissed her its so romantic guys. It seems like they both are on the floor and girl is on the top of mate but it is’nt.
either she is lying on the floor and we are locking from the top or the stone under her has an edge or something
it looks like she’s standing on some peg….
It appears at first as a wall, but I think they’re actually in the pavement
yo – she’s lying down on an elevated let of brick…hah!
what is that thing under her sticking out of her dress
I dont get the romantic sailor one
i don’t get that one romantic illusion
The picture is taken from above and the sailor is standing on a lower area. To be honest, I’ve seen better illusions on this great website!
They’re standing over a balcony. and the girl is hanging over it while the guy is standing on the other side holding her
its easy, she is clearly velcroed to the ledge.
He is standing below the ledge that she is laying down on. Its like the pic below.
x = girl y = sailor

Please explain what it is…this is killing me!!
i dont get it! =[ is she lying on the floor or something??
that was easy, the girl is ontop of a ledge laying down, and the sailor is standing up to her kissing her.
laying down???….pretty sweet if thats right
is this a birds eye view with the girl lying down??
they are lying down on the floor
She’s lying down on a platform, and the pic’s being taken from above! Great illusion, i love it!
She’s lying down and he’s standing up in front of her. Nice one, reminds me of how the old Batman “wall climbing” scenes were filmed..
not bad. seen better though
1st TO COMMENT!!!
Are they laying on the ground and the shot is taken from the air?
i spotted the illusion @ the second i saw it.. i know how this can be… but ill wait till later to tell u guys… coz i dont wanna spoil it by telling…
nice one though ;)
It seems to me the guy is standing up and the lady is lying down and the picture taken from above.
I didn’t get it at all at first, then it suddenly hit me! We’re not looking across at them, we’re looking down! She’s lying on her belly with one foot up in the air (her left foot) with her head extended over a drop off. He’s standing on the ground below the drop off so his arms are level with the ground she’s lying on and he’s hugging her.
is she lying down?
hey good page, i have been lurking around MOIllusions for a while heheheh keep the good work
BTW i think they are just lying on the floor but it looks like they are floating alongside the wall (took me a couple of seconds to think of that hehehe hope its the right answer)
see ya!
i can’t get it. all i can think of is that they are laying down. help!! I keep staring at it, and i just don’t see it.
nice illusion ;D i think i cracked it
my widget is on my google home page
First comment! ^_^
Now… has anyone figured it out?
Very Cool. I had to thiunk out of the box but you are correct she would not move at all. it goes to show that we should “LOOK UP” every now and then you never know what you will find.
I dont think i get it…is she laying down and it just appears that she is hanging…?? but then her hair would hang differently….
YEAH FIRST COMMENT!!!!!!! Oh… uhhhhhh I did’nt get it. It looks cool though!!!! : (…. I mean : )
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
She’s lying on top of some raised platform type structure and he’s stretching up to kiss her. Am I right?
this is hard….
it’s obviuos – and not really an illusion. It’s a birds eye’s view – they’re lying downn on the ground!!!
this was easy she’s laying on her belly!!
It is an overhead shot. He is standing against the wall and she is lying on top of it.
Pretty awesome
FIRST COMMENT!!! haha
(i know i’m not the first)
Great illusion. It’s taken from above. She is laying down on the ground over a ledge and he is standing on a level below leaning on the ledge.
i just dont get it can someone give me a hint???
I don’t get it!!
the image was taken from above. id the sailor let go, he would fall. (first comment!)
They’re lying on the ground.
Oh yeah first to comment!!! This one is easy the guy is standing and the girl is laying on the ground…Duh…..its still romantic though =)
maybe bc the liplock is really tight haha
ummmm….ok wild guess…is it the fact that the sailor is standing and she is not and yet somehow they are still at the same hight to kiss?
This is a really good allusion i didn’t get it at first.
it is a view from the top. she is laying on a ledge. he is below it, hugging her as she lays infront of him at the level of his chest.
She is laying he is standing up
She’s lying on the ground,and over a short wall ,where he is standing slightly below her.
Probably, the sailor is standing up and the girl lying on a rooftop.
P.S.: Forgive may english.
I feel stupid…I can’t figure it out
there is something, a branch maybe, under her leg.
Is there a stair or something? i think i see one
As far as i(eye) can tell, the image is a bird’s eye view of a woman lying down reaching over a ledge putting her arms around a sailor that is standing beneath her on the lower ledge/floor. Sound plausible?
The girl is lay flat on the ground and the sailor is on a lower level reaching up. The birdseye shot creates the illusion
shes lying down and he is standing up as u can see from the tiles behind his that can’t be a wall.
i think i’ve got it-is she lying down and he’s standing up?
umm, it’s shot from above.
The man stands, the woman lies on the belly and the camera is above.
Widget: Google Homepage.
i think i get it, i dont want to give it away, but isnt like the old “rock climbing” illusions? its all in perspective and camera angle.
is it a ‘birds eye wiew’??
the only thing i can think of is that the picture was taken from above
I don’t see it i need help
at first this illusion appears like being a wall but i think it s a floor.
haha! cool! I luv this! ^_____^
I guess he´s standing and she´s lying down…
Hey, I am a big fan too. I used to have the illusion as a widget on my desktop, but have now added it to Facebook.
Keep them coming!
her right foot is standing on a protruding peg and left knee could be kneeling on something.
I think he is standing up and she is laying on a ledge that is at his shoulder height. The picture is taken from a higher ledge looking down at them.
okay, I have no idea how this is possible. Can anyone help?
so i think hes standing on the floor she on some platform thing above him and the camera is taking an arial view picture of them… i think
i dont get this
i don’t see it, any hints????/
She’s laid down on a higher shelf of stone =) he is stood against it hugging her.
are they lying down on the ground?
The only conclusion I can come to is that she’s lying down on stage and the sailor came down from the audience floor to kiss her.
I don’t know if I see the illusion. Are they on the ground or something? -confused-
Btw, I use facebook Optical Illusion of the Day.
i can only think thats she’s standing on something!
is it because they are on the floor? that does not sound right though; it would be too easy
Bah! that would be funny if she fell
she’s lying flat on ground, he’s standing in a hole, photo taken from above, at least that’s how he can let her go without her falling
I see how! ^.^
ahh i feel proud i got this like almost immediately!! this is a good one!
I’m pretty sure he is standing, and she is lying on a ledge higher up
Well that’s a bit bloody obvious.
But still quite clever.
whats the illusion
I looked at this pic for about 5 mins, i don’t get it at all.
The woman is laying belly down on a high ledge.
The man is standing below the woman facing the wall of ledge. He is tall enough to place his arms around the woman.
The picture is an aerial view.
i feel stupid because i dont see it
Great illusion. Took me about 30 secs to figure out. Very convincing :)
woohoo first!
it took me only a couple seconds to find out…its easy seeing how im used to these illusions…
oh yeha. they are both on the ground.
I assume she is lying down, and he is standing?
Uhhhh… I dunno, is it a painting?? If it is, its a good one
This is my first visit and I can’t work this one out!
I can see how he is behind a wall, but I don’t see her standing on something, can someone tell me the trick?
I don’t get it >.<
awesome illution :)
How romantic ^^
But to me it looks like the couple is actually lying on the ground, the balcony is just an illusion created by the line of bricks, that give a sense of depth…
And after coming to this conclusion, I find it hard to see the woman “hanging” anymore…
The women seems to be held by the sailor because the girl’s hair and how he is holding her. You can also tell in the background the water removers in the wall. (the lighting is not from the sun)
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
I think they are lying on the ground.
Its easy, he’s standing against the egde of a wall and she is laying ontop of the wall and the pic is taken directly above them.
I use it in my Google Homepage if its useful for your poll 8P
I don’t understand!!!
He’s way to old for her.
To answer your question, I have it in my Google homepage.
thats so easy
the girl is laying down and the man is standing
omg i see it!
the girl is lying down while the sailors the standing up right??
its just taken at a weird angle haha cool
I don’t get this one? What’s going on?
okay really, I dont see it. :-( Someone clue me in….
are they lying down?
Ah! It did take a few seconds, but yes, it’s good.
hahah i totally see it! thats amazingly clever
I can’t really tell. The picture is not really all that big, but if I were to guess I would have to say that the sailor is standing up and the woman is laying on the ground. You know, like the picture was taken from above them. But I can’t see any illusion in that. Whatever it is it is either very well done or I am just blind.
it is not a wal its a floor
I think the man is standing and the woman is laying down. Look where the concrete breaks pattern and kinda where their heads are, i think that is the end of ground where the woman is laying, and the man is standing on a different piece of concrete.
Cool illusion, wonder how they took the picture.
i still dnt c the Illusion
I get it. She is holding him up. She is lying on the ground. And waht looks like to be the street is actually a wall. And the guy is hanging of the edge is is trying to pull himself up.
Gravity, learn how it works.
Look at her hair and her dress and awsner this question: what does your hair do when you are lying on your stomach? Does it fall straight down your back towards your feet or does it hang over your ears, towards the ground? Now check picture again…
Also notice her balancing foot and look closely…
Not sure. i read the comments and thought there were a lot of good thoughts, but i’m not sure which one is right.
Maybe this will explain it. Ignore the periods.

Not sure if the picture of the part of the Belem Cultural Center attached… here’s a link to where it was taken (no one is laying down)
[img]http://image87.webshots.com/187/7/37/94/2410737940107552572bSWkrF_fs.jpg[/img]
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… WOMEN of his desire?
I dont know about the rest of you, but I only see one woman. Or is he keeping the others hidden?
And on a more serious note- Vurdlak, DO SOMETHING about the delays with the comments.
THE 169TH COMMENT STILL THOUGHT THEY WERE FIRST!!! This is an OUTRAGE!
FIX IT!!! (please)
LOL, I am sure this is anti-gravity force!!
this is no optical illusion!
What you see is wht you get.
The girl is hanging in the salors arms and het feet are pointing to the ground.Watch the tile on the bottom of the photo. in the patern that they are layed the wall has to be flat horizontal. so figure the rest out.
I rest my case
i spotted it literally the second that i saw it, mwhaha i beat u!
yea pretty simple… but i love it anyway!!
hmmm, I don’t think so. The obvious answer is that it’s a bird’s eye view. But look at the way her hair and dress hang; she’s vertical!
Looks more like he’s standing on a higher level behind a wall, dangling her over the other side.
WWWWWOOOWWWW it is so obvious!!! how do none of you get it????? her arms are around his neck, of course she won’t fall. But hey, it’s a good illusion, it got me for 45 secs.
You didn’t read what Vurdlak wrote, did you? He said even if he LIFTED HIS ARMS from the woman of his desire, she wouldn’t have fallen an inch.
notice how her arms are around her. 98 % of the people who posted should think “If the girl’s lying down, how is her hair and skirt not the way it usually is when someone is lying down. GOOD MORNING!!!
the woman is lying higher than the man. the man is standing from a lower floor..hope u understand it..it’s like the steps of the stairs, the woman is lying on the higher floor/step. and the man is standing on a lower floor/step.
the pic is actually taken from above not from the side..
the girl is lying down on her stomach and the sailor dude is down on a lower level
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.
Well if you read the explanation on top you would understand that you are wrong an d she is indeed laying on ground and he is below on a landing. It is an illusion and it says she wouldn’t fall at all if he let go…so how could people possibly be over thinking it if they are right? You are just an arrogant douche bag. Have a nice fucking day
Ron: Well if you read the explanation on top you would understand that you are wrong an d she is indeed laying on ground and he is below on a landing. It is an illusion and it says she wouldn’t fall at all if he let go…so how could people possibly be over thinking it if they are right? You are just an arrogant douche bag. Have a nice fucking day
Ron is right! Christyn can’t even spell her own name or comes from a whole line of family that believes what she is told.
Even in the explanation she admits she did not understand it and has thus not believed what is obvious if you notice the Cobblestone at the bottom is the ground and their shadows+ confirm what you see is what you get.
She is up in the air and would have to drop some 4 feet to the ground.
The lights on the wall also confirm its a wall!
C-mon a missile hit the Pentagon that’s why the video is never released and only one jet engine came out under a tarp.
Think for yourselves people, its no illusion unless you believe what your told!
@4you:
How would you fucking know how Christyn spells her name? It’s her own goddamn name.
Also, your comment is not even relevant to the illusion.
The lights on the ledge are facing down… The girl is evidently lying on the ledge and the man is standing on the ground beneath her.
P.S. Vurdlak is a dude, don’t refer to him as a she.
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.
look who thinks they know everything
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.

Nice photo anyways”
i think i saw wonder woman flying carrying his BF. wahahahaha…
Focus on the Shadows, his shadow should be alot taller, and hers should be further away if this was to be pulled off.. with out the illusion then.
I got it immediately, this time
It’s viewed from the top. She’s lying on the edge on her tummy while he’s standing in front of her. Nice illusion :D
dana is right
thats stupid its easy to every 1 i showed
and dana is right
OK look where she is standing, there is a little ledge type thing sorta like a shelf holder sticking out of the wall its what she is standing on. she uses the sailor as balance
they are laying on the ground i have seen ones like this b4 and im 12 and you stupid adults couldent get it
Ivo already mentioned the location where this was taken (Centro Cultural de Belem, Lisbon, Portugal), so I’ll just add that it was taken by the portuguese photographer De Sousa.
Check his myspace – http://www.myspace.com/desousaphoto -, his work is amazing!
There is a wooden stick or a bamboo emerging from the wall right where her leg is!
Just zoom the pic & u will see
If she is lying on her belly, how come her hair isn’t lying on her back?? It looks as thought it’s out, like she’s standing..
I’m slow and still can’t see the illusion even after reading the comments lol
There is simply no illusion. She’s hanging in air, he’s leaning over a edge. Here’s a picture of the building mentioned above. http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/20980720.jpg
See the black squares in the WALLS, see the paving stones on the GROUND. Look towards the far end of the wall. Same thin stones topping the ledge.
Hi,
this picture was taken in a place called CCB Centro Cultural de Belem, in Lisbon Portugal.
Picture Here: http://amadeo.blog.com/repository/403979/3992775.jpg
It was made by a friend of mine, called De Sousa, here is his amaizing portfólio:

The girl in the picture is really and only hanging by the strength the sailor’s arms, there are no special effects as I read in some comments, she was not lying on the ground.
This is a beautiful conceptual photo made by an amaizing portuguese photographer.
P.S: I Was there.
:)
Oh! my God.
I agree she is not laying down by simple observation of the dress being pulled down by gravity, her hair doing the same thing and the bricks at the bottom being more suited for pavement than a wall.
The rest isn’t for me to say as either he’s holding her very well or something else is at play here.
DUMB.
Dudes, she’s holding HIM as well. Of course she wouldn’t fall.
It DOES kinda look like there is something grabbing/holding on to her foot, but as many people have already said, it is(/may be) no illusion at all.
Many of us thought it was impossible! Many of us said wrong. What is right is that it is NOT an illusion. A girl is lying down on an tile or rock ground, and the man may be kneeling down on a step! Good Job to the people who got it right. Good Job indeed!
You know what I think is that the sailor is sitting legs strait out its a birds eyes few and she is laying on top of his legs. the grounds bricks are placed to play tricks on your mind.
they’re lying down. case closed.
got it immediatley
I think there r 2 possibilities. Either:
A: they are both lying down on the ground, but he has bent his body slightly upwards.
B: The girl is lying down, and he is standing below her on a ledge with his arms around her
google homepage. cool illusion!
what… how is she laying down… oh! i get it shes laying on her stomach… i was thinking “how is her leg out if she was laying down..”
She is laying on her stomach and he is on the floor beneath her(he might fall if he lets go though)
*Belem
How’s this: They’re not even there but it’s a form of suggestive persuasion to make us think they’re there. You see if you think about it, they’re just thousands of 1’s and 0’s stuck together to form this picture, and making bastards like me read your stupid comments and write stupid comments myself.
This site isn’t working to upload pictures apparently, so here’s a link to a shot of exactly where that was taken:
