OT - Optical Illusion

ALERT...

I thought you guys might be a little interested in an optical illusion which I photographed on a recent daytrip I took. Here is the picture:



Now the question is, are the circles concave (go inward) or convex (go outward)? For the answer, click on the link below to see the object where the pciture was taken.

Answer to illusion

If you want to see more pictures from the daytrip...click here.

Neal, I looked through the kodak album, GREAT PICS, I bet that was fun in that old ghost town. I can only think that the O.I. you are talking about would be those rivet heads on that old boiler plate... from my angle they look convex.


PS THATS A SWEET SS.....

Cool pic, Neal. I knew they were outward. Like the pic of the old building.

Brandon, is that for real? I will have to ask Kiefer (daughter's fiance) if he ran across any of those since that is what he works on these days.

A little shakedown cruise...about 300 miles round-trip. Ran like a beast though it was a little weak at 8500 ft elevation at Bodie (the 750 cfm Edelbrock was pleading for mercy)! I'm now looking for a 1973 Nova hatchback which I want to cut-off right in back of the front seat and turn it into a pull trailer/camper behind the Nova. It would make a neat little camper to pull behind the Nova...same color, same SS emblems. Kwik, when you visit we can hit a bunch of ghost towns in Nevada and California...
