One of the best illusions I’ve ever seen! This photograph was taken in Neuchatel, Switzerland. You’d initially think someone has taken a red pencil and drawn a few lines on the picture print, or painted over it digitally on a computer. In reality, the orange lines are painted on the buildings. The illusion works from only one specific viewpoint in three-dimensional space, which is where the camera is.

“Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.”
