Points of View

Take a look at this picture. It's not what you think.

 
I know it looks like a photoshopped image of a hallway with the print superimposed onto of it. But what you're actually seeing in NOT edited. The letters are painted onto the walls so that it *looks* like the photo has been edited. Click here to see how it was done.

Optical illusions like this really amuse me. There's also a movement of street art that creates the optical illusion of 3D depth like this one in Stockholm by Erik Johansson.

  
Both illusions were found on Laughing Squid.
