Bridge Optical Illusion

In 2002 Professor Lastra of the University of North Carolina was invited to speak at SIBGRAPI, the Brazilian graphics conference, in Fortaleza. While there he photographed this bridge which lead to the Cultural Center. At first glance this seemed like an extremely long foot bridge. He was kind enough to allow me to use these two pictures he took.
