Description Presented here is a vast gallery of many different forms of Optical Illusions. Whether these optical illusions are conveyed through fractals, photographs, architecture, art, or old fashioned pen and ink, they are bound to remind you that "seeing is not believing."

Caution!!!! Some of the optical illusions on this blog may cause dizziness or possibly epileptic seizures. The latter happens when the brain can't handle the conflicting information from your two eyes. If you start feeling unwell when using this website, immediately cover one eye with your hand and then leave the page. Do not close your eyes because that can make the attack worse.

Brick Wall Optical Illusion

This is like the 6 or 7 cubes illusion. Depending on how you look at things the bricks could be jutting out in either the left or right direction. More to the point was this photo taken looking up at the wall or looking down at the wall?

I looked at it from both sides, and came to the conclusion that it was taken from below and to the right. There's just ONE bring that gives this illusion away.

You are right!

It was taken from below looking up to the right. The shadows give it away because the sun is above creating the shadows.

Good call.

Below towards the right. I couldn't tell why for a while but I just figured. Then I saw it, the three sided inward corner could only be created at that angle, when you twist your sight to see it the other way there's a row of h"hollow" looking bricks
