365great challenge day 82: optical illusionsIt’s so fascinating how our eyes can trick us (or is it our minds tricking us with our eyes??). I think optical illusions are so crazy because even after you know the truth, it’s so sooo hard to see it (literally). I mean, you can know that those two lines are the same exact length, but it just doesn’t look that way unless they’re on top of each other! Same goes with this picture – it looks like the tiles get smaller and smaller (and fewer and fewer too, at first glance) – right?? Well, in fact each level actually has the same number of tiles AND each tile size is identical. They then have colored lights changing the look of the ceiling to confuse you even further. I mean, I never would have guessed it! And only when all the tiles are their normal white, staring very very hard, can I start to see how they are all the same. It’s mind-goggling and I love it! Totally great.
