Optical Illusion of The Day: Nature’s Basketball Optical Illusion

Posted: 15 May 2014 04:49 AM PDT

Basketball is one of those sports that I absolutely love to play. However, I must admit, I’m not a big fan of actually watching the sport being played on television. I used to be interested in the NBA, but I’m just not into it anymore. However, I do have to admit that I actually do enjoy playing the NBA video games. Those are always pretty fun to play online.

The optical illusion below reminds me of back when I was in high school and would play basketball almost every day after school was out. My friends and I would just play basketball with each other until it started to get dark. It was a calming effect to walk home after an intense game and watching as the sun went down. Check out the illusion below and you’ll see why I’ve called this one the nature’s basketball optical illusion.

As you can see, it’s a series of three pictures that were taken at different times, so you have a nice time lapse effect. Also, the pictures were taken at just the right angle, so it looks as if the sun is a basketball and is going through the hoop. Does that count as a slam dunk or a high arching jump shot?
