Giant Myke Picture

This picture is one of the many illusions at the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh. The room is constructed much taller on one end (the end where the apparently tiny Chris is standing). The floor has a pretty serious slant to it, but the grid pattern is painted to make it look level as the mind tries to make the floor pattern into squares (they are in fact trapezoids). The windows in the back, also very much not square, enforce the illusion as well, as to the bright lights on the edge contrasted with the dark ceiling.

The roles are reversed in the Giant Chris Picture.
