Illusions


I was browsing random photos online when I found Reader's Digest's page Cool Optical Illusions That Make You Look Twice. So here, I posted a sample picture of optical illusion.

At a very quick look, the only odd thing that I noticed was the pair of shoes. And I was definitely wrong. It was only when I saw the 2nd photo that I realized what the illusion was.


What is it?


And there you go. A man was actually hiding in the photo. Great! Isn't it!


... a man, hiding in plain sight.

Hint: The shoes are the giveaway. Chinese artist Liu Bolin camouflaged himself for a series of photos called Hiding in the City. They're metaphors for government suppression of art, he says. Other scenes he's painted himself into include the rubble of earthquakes in the countryside and a wall with text from The Communist Manifesto scrawled on it.

Just a thought: So maybe what you see is not always what it seems to be.
