#Olympic Rings and Moon Optical Illusion

#Olympic Rings and Full Moon Optical Illusion

The 2016 Olympics are into their secon week in in Rio, Brazil.   In honor of this special occasion, I figured that an Olympics-themed optical illusion was in order. Check out this moon and Olympic rings optical illusion from one of the past Olympic games…

This is a perfect example of a perfectly timed photo! The photographer who captured this moon and Olympic rings optical illusion had to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time, and shoot at the perfect angle. It’s like the trifecta of perfectly timed photos, and he or she nailed it! Any earlier or later and the full moon behind the rings would have been off, spoiling the shot.

Read Something New to Stimulate your #Brain

book_mind

The human #mind thrives on new experiences.

Without these our brains get bored and lazy and generally underused. One way to introduce novelty into your life is to read something that isn’t your normal choice. Pick up a magazine that you have never read, or look through a section of the newspaper that you normally skip. Go to a library and pick a random book from a random shelf.  Can you remember that time when you sat in a waiting room, and picked up a magizine to pass the time?

This is a great way to learn new and interesting things. You never know when you might discover a new interest or learn something that relates to something that you are currently working on.

Body Paint Hole In the Back Optical Illusion

Painted Hole In the back #Opticalillusion

Some cool body paint illusions have people painted up to look like all sorts of things, from motorcycles to flowers to animals. This particular illusion, though, is more of a combination of a couple different types of illusions. First, obviously, it’s a body paint illusion. But, it’s also a classic type of illusion that makes it look like this person has a hole in their back.

hole_in_the_back_optical_illusion

The person’s pose and the paint must have both been perfect to make this illusion! I can’t even imagine how long it must have taken to get this one just right! and Must of given the model a pain in the back!!
