Is it a black vase, or two white faces? Classic optical illusion!
(This post is a preview of my weekly Newswithviews column.)
It was a clear plastic trash bag full of, well, trash. I knew that. But sitting outside today, on my special chair, I saw it as a face. A weird face: big goggly eyes, fishy mouth, shiny silver earring. Look away, look back–and that face was still there.
I asked my wife to take a look. She saw it, too. Same as the face I saw. I also asked my next-door neighbor–and she couldn’t see any kind of face at all. Same information, different results.
Human nature is very hard to understand.
Well, I have looked numerous times, still don’t see any face, just a vase. I guess I’m missing
something in the brain dept. (big surprise there)
I can see it either way.
OH, oh, just as I was leaving the post, there were the faces. Amazing.
See? Toldja they were there!
Very strange, but I can see it either way.
I have no problem seeing both. There are pictures, kind of like a hologram, but I can’t remember what they are called. Which, if you don’t know “how” to see the 3D image, you will never see it. And think I am lying, when I tell you what is really in the picture.
I found what its called (Autostereogram). On this Wikipedia page is a picture. There is an image in the picture, which, unless you know how to see it; you never will see it. I don’t know if this link will work.

The link works, but I’m afraid that if I somehow see through the illusion, I won’t be able to find my way back out.
I just went back to that link, and wow, the animated shark is really good, and so was the chessboard. Try it out, see if you can see it.
I wrote my newswithviews.com piece yesterday, before I saw your message. It turns out to be quite a coincidence.
I tried to get my nephew to see the man in the moon on a full moon light and he could not do it.
