Excellent example of the Ponzo Illusion


The above image was created by 'shopping three identical images of a car onto a photograph of a street.  The context of the photo (a receding street) creates in your mind the illusion that the cars are of different sizes - but they are exactly the same. ( I had to measure them to convince myself.)

At Neatorama, Alex Santoso has appended an animated gif to confirm the equality of the car images.

Here's another Ponzo Illusion:
