Optical Illusion of The Day: Real Life Illusion: Storseisundet Bridge |  |
| Real Life Illusion: Storseisundet Bridge Posted: 22 Nov 2013 07:22 AM PST Imagine taking a drive along a beautiful highway. The beautiful blue sky all around you, majestic mountains off in the distance and open roadway waiting for you to come out and take a drive. What would you do if the road suddenly appeared to drop off into the middle of nowhere? Would you keep driving or would you turn around and head the other way? The Storseisundet Bridge in Norway is a real life illusion that I’ve personally seen.
As I was visiting some friends in Oslo, I needed to take this bridge to get there. I stopped before I hit the bridge to snap this perfect photo that basically shows the road just disappearing. As beautiful as the countryside is, and how scary this bridge was to drive through, that doesn't take away from how amazing this illusion is. On a clear day, the Storseisundet Bridge looks like it abruptly ends and there is nowhere else to go except down into the water below.
Once you are able to conquer your fears and head over the Storseisundet Bridge, you will find that the bridge continues right along just like it should. Even though the bridge is nothing more than an optical illusion, I will bet you many people questioned whether they should take the chance and see where the bridge goes. In reality, the bridge continues wrapping along the countryside to take you wherever it is that you need to go. Not only is this one of the most breathtaking pictures, but the real life version is that much better. The colors and scenery truly pop out at you as you drive along the roadway.

| Posted: 21 Nov 2013 05:58 PM PST Do you remember those old shows where the eyes in a creepy painting seem to follow you wherever you go. You know the ones, right? Someone is walking through an old, abandoned house and all of a sudden the eyes move and watch wherever they go. When I was first sent this animated gif eye illusion, it reminded me of one of those movies. Take a look for yourself and share your thoughts as you stare at this!
What did you get out of it when you looked at it? Did it suck you in and leave you in a trance like state? Even though it does hook you into its swirling color and insane illusion, you don't have to worry about anyone hiding behind a picture waiting to jump out and grab you. Just watching it spin in a circle is enough to make you dizzy if you keep staring at it. Regardless of the color, it is the sheer movement that gets you every time. This eye illusion is one unlike I have ever seen before when searching for illusions. Do you notice how it seems as if the depth of the eye illusion changes? As it swirls around, it seems to go from deeper to shallower without really having to do much at all. Who would have thought something so simple could be so intriguing? The next time you watch one of those movies, are you going to think about this cool illusion and remember the swirling colors as they follow you around the room? I think the color choice helps to bring the illusion together and make it that much more amazing, but everyone is going to have their own perception of the animated illusion, so you tell me what you think.
