Optical Illusions
Here are a couple of the more interesting optical illusions that I’ve seen throughout the years. Click on the images for a larger view.
Squares ‘A’ and ‘B’ are the same color (see proof here).
This illusion is one I find the hardest to believe…
Can you see both faces? There’s an old woman and a young woman in this picture. Took me quite while to be able to see both when I first saw it.
A young woman or a sax player?
A vase or two faces?
What jumped out at you first on each one? Do you have a favorite illusion? If so, see if you can find it on the web and post a link in the comments.

Yeah, the B square in the first illusion is different color on the explanation page as it is on the other. I have a hard time believing it too.

Squares a & b are not the same.

Jeff, the squares are the same color. Open the picture and photoshop and see for yourself…

I clicked on your little proof link, and they look different.

I see it now.

Lol, that’s why it’s called an optical illusion

I had to cover up the surrounding blocks in order to see it.
I guess I could have followed the link, too.
