Not a flying carpet


This photo was called an "accidental optical illusion" when it was posted at Reddit.  I think that's a very apt description.  Apart from the flag shadow paralleling the board, there's also the flagpole shadow oriented reasonably well re the microphone boom.  Very cool illusion.

  1. That is a pretty cool illusion there.

  2. That's beautiful! I'd say the carpet is flying about three feet off of the ground.
