Most Interesting Illusions.

Most Interesting Illusions .Squares A & B are the same shade of gray. This optical illusion was created by Edward H. Adelson, Professor of Vision Science at MIT.Winner of 2 gold & 1 silver award at the 2004 Clio awards, this ad campaign used combined words to make images.So what do you make out of this one? Hint: see the shape in between the pillars.Is this window seen from above or seen from below?Are they walking on the wall?Is she wearing spectacles?Here is another great optical illusion photo of a Lufthansa 747-400 & a United Airlines 757-200 which were on simultaneous approaches to runways 28L & 28R at San Francisco. As per the separation requirement for flying parallel & simultaneous approaches is 225 meters (738 feet). But due to the fact that Lufthansa 747 being three times larger than the 757 plane & being slightly behind the other plane created this incredible optical illusion but as a matter of fact these two aircraft were at a safe distance while approaching.Double words ...

Chromed Cars.

Chromed Cars .Here is a cool collection of shiny-chromed cars such as Mercedes, Lamborghini, Lexus, Audi, BMW & others, which are for sure going to make an impression on the roads. Chrome plating is an electroplating process that requires dipping the parts in chemicals which means the car is to be disassembled & the parts electro-plated. Probably costs as much as the car itself. On the other hand we have special chrome paints, & MirraChrome paint by KMC Corporation is said to be the best chrome paint available which would cost about USD 1850 per gallon. Now with the figures clear there isn't much to figure out how much it would cost to chrome your car.This shiny Lexus IS250 was sprayed with special MirraChrome paint by KMC Corporation & created for the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.

American Consumption Art.
2008-04-02 21:47:00
American Consumption Art.This is some of the best piece of artwork we came across for a while now & its by Chris Jordan. Its really a beauty in which Chris expressed so artistically the dry statistics by way of art which is bound to make a mark in the minds of the viewers. His underlying desire is to emphasize the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, & overwhelming.To see the real beauty of this artwork you need to click & enlarge the images but we still feel what Chris has stated holds much more weight: "this series is that the prints must be seen in person to be experienced the way they are intended. As with any large artwork, their scale carries a vital part of their substance which is lost in these little web images. Hopefully the JPEGs displayed here might be enough to arouse your curiosity to attend an exhibition, or to arrange one if you are in a position to do so."Chris says "……………̷ 0;….. ...

Trees Swallowing Things.
2008-04-02 21:44:00
Trees aren't very good at getting out of the way, so they've adapted to simply swallow things when it becomes necessary. About thirty years ago in Cambre, a small village in the northwest of Spain what started as displaying of sign on trees to indicate a taxi stand was nearby, now these very signs have become a part of the trees. Another sign which became part of the tree.It appears this oak tree is eating this piece of a boat. This tree seems to swallow the temple.Here is another one of those where the sign is eaten by the tree, one other thing to be noted is what' s written on this sign. Now you got a lights grown right into the tree & what you just need to do is plug them in & you got a live tree. Now this bike seems to be here from a very long time & if ever the owner of the motorcycle comes back, he will be in for a surprise. This washbasin seems to be getting a lending hand from the tree.We always thought people drop pennies into a fountain & make a wish, but never knew abo...

Some things to be considered: no changes can be made to the building or the structure to increase the number of elevators & all the other stuff.
