Optical illusions.


One of my favourite things are optical illusions. They fascinate me. I must warn you that if you have problems with your eyes you may want to avoid looking at some of these illusions. Have fun!!!!

picture of ladies face

Stare at the ladies eyes for a while and she'll open them.

See it? Sit further back and look where her pupils would be.

Can you see the dog?




picture of holes

Are the holes on the top or bottom?




picture of face

Can you see the face in this picture?




picture of mans face

What do you see besides a man, two people kissing?




picture of wolves

Can you find the other 4 wolves in the rocky cliffs?




picture of a lightbulb

Stare at the black lightbulb for at least 30 seconds. Then immediately stare at a white area on the screen or a sheet of paper.




picture of a cylinder

Are you looking at this cylinder from left to right or right to left?




picture of men

Which man is the tallest in the picture below? Look closer. All three are exactly the same size.




picture of lines

Are the lines below straight or crooked?




picture of a circle that appears to move

Watch the lines move around the sphere. Do they appear to periodically change direction?




picture of an eskimo

An Eskimo or an Native American?




picture of rectangles

Rectangles or diamonds? Or both?




picture of a triangle

See the triangle? It actually doesn't exist. The angles on the three images, however, give the appearance that it does.




picture of a skull

Woman in vanity or skull?




picture of a triangle

Look at how this triangle was built. If you know a mathematician, architect or have a math teacher who has net access, tell him/her to check this out. Logically it just doesn't fit.




picture of a cube

Keep your eyes on the dot. Is it in front, or in back of the cube? In front or in back - That is the question!




picture of a rabbit and duck

Here is a helpful hint: the Rabbit faces one direction, and the duck the other,




picture of a crate

If you look closely at the crate, you will see that it can not be built, only drawn.




picture of spirals

Make sure you are relaxed. Keep your eyes on the lighter areas where the black lines intersect. You should probably notice circles coming from the center of the design. The trick is that a light color appears brighter when it contrasts against a darker color. So, people see the areas adjacent to the intersections to be slightly brighter, causing what appears to be circles.




picture of stairs

In this illustration, the stairs should turn upside down during a steady gaze. The wall with the floating glass sphere will shift from the foreground to the background. Of course, if you originally saw the background as the foreground, you will notice a change from the background to the foreground.




picture of the queen

Stare at the picture (on the left) for about 45 seconds. Then, stare at the white section of this image (the right section). You should see the Queen again. Keep your concentration, and for those 45 seconds, don't take your eyes off the picture.




picture of stairs

Never ending staircase!!!!!




picture of an elephant

How many legs has this elephant got?




picture of a cube

This picture is ambiguous in three ways: As a small cube in front of a larger cube; As a large cube with a corner cubelet cut out; As a small cube inside three perpendicular adjoining planes.




picture of a lady

Is it a drawing of a pretty young girl looking away from us? Or is it an older woman looking down at the floor?




picture of a goblet

A wine goblet - or two faces in profile?




picture of the word lift

Do you only see black shapes on white - or a word?




picture of Jesus

Concentrate on the four dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 seconds. Then close your eyes and tilt your head back. Concentrate on the circle of light and an image should appear - spookey eh??

Just count the little black balls...

Do The Black Lines Appear To Bend?
