Climbing Stairs on the Beach Optical Illusion

Saturday is here, and now it is time to sleep in late, get up, pack a bag, and head for the soft wet sand, and cool waters of the nearest beach! While on the beach, you all can eat, sleep, swim, read, build sand castles, or even just climb a few stairs! Yes, today’s optical illusion is all about a cool carving in the sand that looks just like a staircase that people can climb. You all know that climbing steps is a great way to get exercise, and climbing steps on the beach is a great way to get excuse and play at the same time.


Climbing Stairs on the Beach Optical Illusion





A great place that has the best beaches in the world is known as Athens, Greece. Speaking of Athens, Greece, we have a great optical illusion that is full of love. Take a look at this picture of the Athens hillside, and what do you all see? Athens is known as an ancient city in Greece, but it now may be the city of love thanks to what is carved into this hill! We love Athens, Greece, and now this hill proves it! Have a great day and we will talk again soon!

Headless Man on the Beach Optical Illusion

Congratulations! We have made it to the very last day of the work week, which is Friday! Time to throw confetti, break out the champagne, and plan to do something fun because the countdown for the weekend has just begun! Once the work day is done, you all can start off by heading to the beach, but you all need to be careful because there seems to be a phenomena known as the Headless Beach Syndrome. It seems that every time someone heads to the beach, they end up losing their heads, and today’s optical illusion is the perfect example of this terrible affliction! Scientists are working hard to figure out what causes people to lose their heads at the beach, but perhaps it is the lure of the sand that causes it.


Headless Man on the Beach Optical Illusion





Naturally, we are totally kidding about the syndrome, and we want to show you another great illusion. Here is a great game for you all to play, its called find all the people in the optical illusion. There are supposed to be 9 people hidden in this cool little illusion, and take your time as you are searching for them or you just might miss one! However, we recommend you all head for the beach to have some fun, and have a great weekend!

Somebody’s Eyes Are Watching Optical Illusion

Good morning and happy Thursday to you all! Some people really love Thursdays because it means that the weeks is starting to wind down, and hopefully, the workload is starting to drop as well since the weekend is only one day away. After the work day is done, all you guys need to go home and do something really fun like paint a picture or create a drawing. Anyone with the talent for drawing can make their own optical illusions, and we are very envious of anyone that has enough talent for that. Today’s optical illusion is all about someone with the drawing talent to make a really cool illusion, and it looks like someone is peeking out from under the piece of drawing paper. Be careful, some little creature is under that paper watching all of us!


Somebodys Eyes Are Watching Optical Illusion





Now it is time for all of us to drop what we are doing and head for the beach! Everyone loves the beach, even giants, and this optical illusion looks like a giant is at the beach eating children! Whoever did this illusion did a great job with it, and we hope that it makes you all believe in beach giants too! Have a great day!
