These garage doors have special wallpaper on them to give the illusion that the owner of this home has a dump truck hidden within. I don't know about some of you folks, but in case I get bored of one image I would hope that these wallpapers are easily removable!

Similar to an illusion posted before, this trick is more in your eyes than in your mind. The rods and cones in the back of your retina take time to adjust after you release focus off the dot. Once they adjust, the proper signal is sent to your brain to tell you that, "Hey! This ain't colored!"

Bulging Grid Illusion

Found by Chris Foster and Eric Altschuler, moving the head towards the grid causes the image to distort and bulge towards you.

If you look carefully at the grid, you'll notice that some of the squares are not aligned perfectly corner-to-corner. This is intentionally done at specific points to induce the bulging effect.
