Optical illusion


Quatro Torres del Paine - Chile

The illusion of on mirror image has always attracted mankind. Plato gives us on example in his philosophic critiques.

This illusion of the refection also astonishes my cat poppy when she looks in my pond and there looks on other cat out.
With here paw she touch the water and this is a bad trick for a cat, a wet paw!
"Once a time I will catch this monster" !

We are confronted with our face in the mirror and that is a complete illusion. Make the test and draw with your finger the outline of your face on a steamed mirror and you will see that it is smaller that you thought.

In the art we use tricks to make on 2 dimensional paper on 3 dimensional illusion images, using perspective.
The color can make the illusion of depth too . Color can give you the illusion of warm or could.
The most beautiful examples we can find in nature are the mirror sights on water. This attracts me in particular.

This is the illusion of our eyes. We have this illusions too with what we hear what we taste, what we feel what we grope.
May be our whole life is illusion.
