Window to the World

Before we talk about what this scene is. what do you think you see?

The world isn't always the way it looks at first glance! This is a photo made looking through a window into what used to be a children's clothing store. The bright yellow and green part of the scene is painted on the inside wall. All of the rest of the scene (the sky to the left, the parking lot and cars and the wall with windows seemingly beyond the arches, it just naturally looks like it is really in a breezeway behind the arches), was reflected on the window right in front of me. I thought the combination of the inside and outside made for an interesting scene of its own. But it is all really an optical illusion! :) The window scene is in a small shopping center located where I did my photo walk this morning.

Very cool optical illusion. A real mind bender especially after you describe the scene. Very nicely seen and presented.

Nicely done. The grey triangle top right is the give-away: it shows that you were at an angle to the window so as to overlay the reflection on the outside view. V

Well seen and it's a bit surrealistic.
