Another Perspective (or Illusion)

Not traffic cones this time.

Cactus.

People tend to 'see' things based on what they know.

Here is an old, old photo of a chain fruit cholla

From the angle of the shot and the surrounding scrub brush, one could easily make the assumption that this is about 3' - 4' tall (about a meter or just over).

This is old, and yes this is (was) really me...

And no altering of the photo...

I am reaching up to some of the chain fruit! This is about 10' (3 meters) tall!!

And yes, I've put on some weight since this was taken over 20 years ago...

Optical Illusion - Traffic Cones

I have always wanted to do something like this. You know those e-mails where you scroll down and see the next thing and finally the last one is amazing or funny or whatever. (if you do copy this to send, please DO NOT Send This To EVERYONE You Know and something wonderful or terrible will happen!! Nothing will happen any differently if you just take a look and then go on to something else than if you send it to any number of people).

That being said, you must be wondering what I'm talking about and whether you are going to need to scroll down. Yes, you will need to scroll down to see what I'm talking about...

You see a traffic cone here and if you click the picture I think you can see others beyond the car.  Nothing so unsual.

In fact, there are two traffic cones here. And the other cones in the back are much more visible.

Still nothing unusual?

These were the BIGGEST traffic cones I've every seen, or if you prefer the line from 'Get Smart' that is the second biggest cone I've ever seen!
