Marylin Monroe - Einstein illusion

When you look at the image below, whose face do you see? At normal screen viewing distance you should see the face of the great scientist Albert Einstein. Now squint your eyes or take a few steps back from the image. Does a certain Hollywood personality pop into view? The Marylin Monroe-Einstein hybrid image was created by Dr. Aude Oliva for the March 31st 2007 issue of New Scientist magazine.

It's not just a crafty illusion. This sort of image is being used as a tool to understand better how our brains process visual scenes. On the practical side, some companies are interested in using them to conceal information from unintended observers - or to create printed advertising that morphs before your eyes.

Antique Japanese Shikishi Art – Crane Bird Nihonga

This Japanese painting (nihonga) dates from the mid to late Japanese Showa period (1926-1989). The painting was done on a rectangular sheet of stiff Japanese shikishi paper with gold trim at the edges. This nihonga painting is in poor to fair condition with marks, stains and creases and is a wonderful candidate for framing and display.

Size:
Height: 10.5 inches (27.0 centimeters)
Width: 9.4 inches (24.0 centimeters)

Face or a Tree illusion

Is it a Tree or a face of a person? It is Definitely a Tree. what do you thinks it is man made or Nature made? The tree has had its branches shaped so that it resembles a face. It makes an interesting picture and makes you wonder what this tree would look like with leaves on it. and i m confused about the face i probably think it is a face of David Duchovny but i m not sure, if any body know then let me know
