Gorgeous Tree

A tree is a tree.

What am I talking about?

Look at the picture below and you will see a beautifully grown tree.




Sure?

Look carefully if you are convince it is.

Do you see some "rectangular" objects attached along with the leaves?

They are antennae (aerials).

They are used for radio transmission to portable devices.

The "tree" is actually a cellular base station dressed up as a tree.

What a way to blend in communication technology with nature!

Up or Down, You Decide

Visual presentation of pictures can be made gorgeous.

This is especially so when the picture is a "shock".

If the picture does not follow logic, it strikes the mind.

The mind will wonder what happen.

Is the brain alright, or are the eyes playing tricks?

Looooook at the below...



Can the ball go through the poles?

A bit of a weird here, right?

Up or down ?

Gorgeous image.... a deception to the eyes!

Sides Can Be Deceptive


Can you find anything wrong with this object?
With a geometrical deception, an interesting object can be produced.
The sides of this object is carefully "oriented" to look confusing, yet normal if not seriously looked at.
In everyday life, things may not be what you see. This object illustrates the nature our eyes see things.

Family of Twisted Frames

Frames are all over.

Structurally, some may look normal. But upon closer look, you will discover the below family of frames to be geometrically-interesting.

Why?
Find out yourself.

It will be more exciting to reveal it yourself.



Do you like them?
I bet!

Frames, frames, frames...
Gorgeous twisted frames.

Cunning Overlapping of Objects


Three objects lying side by side with one at a special posture.

The white-coloured block is the culprit in this diagram playing trick with your eyes.

Though the white block is at the background, its leg moved up to become at the foreground, heading the three.

Funny drawing isn't it?

You can do the same, sketching wonders that fascinate our eyes.

Twist Here, Twist There, Everywhere, Twist Twist

With a bit of imagination, you can twist and overlap an impossible rib into a structure not possible in real life.

Drawing comes to life with creative twists.

It is fun. Try one for yourself.



Deceptive drawings are one way to trick the mind and the eye.
Or are they to challenge the logic?

Staircase Of Character

Climbing staircase is second nature to most of us.

But be aware.

Don't be too confidence.

There are some that do not really seem normal.

Look whether you can go through this special staircase.
It has its unique character.


It cheats the eye. Climbing it calls for balancing and focusing in order not to get hurt!

Can you see why?

Enjoy climbing this gorgeous staircase.

Anything is gorgeous if you do not limit your imagination.

Weird Crossed Plane


Beautifully placed across each other are these three planes.
They are closely linked with an abnormal perspective.
Can you figure out what is so striking about their layout?
Drawing can be deceptive, and flaws not noticed with loosely scanned through.
This can be one of them.
Enjoy...
:D

Seeing To Unbelieving - A Cross-Legged Figure


Look! A special cross-legged figure.

It looks like a human with one leg lifted. Or does it?

Is the figure possible?

Is the geometrical alignment possible?

Can you believe your eyes that this figure is feasible in real life?

Unbelievable that drawing can expose many weakness in our vision.
This is one of them. Deceptiveness at play...

Collective Deception of the Eye



By looking at the shades of black and white above, what do your eyes see?

Do you see lines waving at the middle rows?

Do you really think that the lines are straight?

Do you trust your eyes?

Our brain is a powerful machine. It tries to compute or analyze what its counterpart, the eyes, observe. It then do some processing to make sense of the images that comes from the eye inputs.

It is a very interesting tug-of-war between brain and eye.
This is human nature.
Gorgeous isn't it?

By the way, the lines are straight and not bent as seen by our eyes.

Deceptive Geometry

Look at the picture and .......

You see anything out of the norm. Something is just not right!

The directions of the 3 poles seem to be questionable.


If we can mis-interpret perceived geometry in daily life, we can create something absurd that goes against the norm.

This is deceptive views. But is gorgeous, as it challenges the mind.
Do you agree?
