Ice Rainbow 3-2026 This circumzenithal arc lasted less than 2 minutes. Formed by sunlight refracting through horizontal plate ice crystals in cirrus clouds, it's rarer to catch than a #rainbow — and far more saturated #atmospheric #clouds #nature #BlueSkyMonday #Vulture #opticalillusion #Sunset 📱

Silhouettes of bare winter tree branches fill the lower half of the frame against a soft blue twilight sky. Near the top center, a vivid circumzenithal arc — an upside-down rainbow smile with saturated orange, yellow, green, and blue — glows amid wispy cirrus clouds radiating outward like a sunburst. Three turkey vultures perch in the bare branches, one at the very top of the tallest branch directly beneath the arc, two slightly lower. The sun is setting behind the trees, casting a warm glow at the bottom of the frame

A slightly weird optical illusion I came across yesterday at Bingham's pond in the west of Glasgow. It might just be me, but the reflection of the shopping basket in the last of the ice makes it appear as if it's some sort of levitating cage. #glasgow #opticalillusion #binghamspond #winter

Is it a screen or a wall? 🤔 This quirky piece blurs the lines between digital and physical, making you look twice! #ArtInstallation #OpticalIllusion #ModernArt #BrisbaneArt #ArtLovers #StreetArt #CreativeTech #ArtInspo #ArtCollector #ArtPhotography

I was so excited to capture this image of a flying saucer UFO over Holmes Harbor WA until my son said, "Mom. Did you take it through a window? It's the reflection of a light fixture." #stunday #ufo #flyingsaucer #photography #pugetsound #holmesharbor #opticalillusion #funphoto #cantfoolyourkids

One of those moments when you had to stop and take a picture. Looking across the rooftops from Fulwell Mill, the occasional phenomenon of a ship appearing to float in the sky, above the sea! #ShipintheSky #OpticalIllusion #NorthSea #Fulwell

Trick of the light, when the sky appears beneath a ship at sea

For day 18 of the #ArtAdventCalendar here’s another piece from the series I made over the summer. Once I get them all scanned and uploaded I’ll tell y’all the story behind this series. Acrylic on cardboard. #art #tradart #patterns #opticalillusion #acrylicpainting #geometry

This artwork features an intricate and vibrant geometric pattern composed of repeated petal-like shapes forming a symmetrical design. The pattern resembles a series of interconnected diamonds, each containing curved, fan-like lines that radiate outward, giving a sense of movement and depth.

At the intersections of the shapes are circular black elements, outlined in gold, serving as focal points that unify the composition. Small dots of bright, varied colors—like red, blue, green, orange, and purple—decorate the inner edges of the shapes, adding a jeweled or bead-like appearance.

The color palette is rich and diverse, transitioning across the design with shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, creating a harmonious rainbow effect. The black outlines and gold accents provide strong contrast, emphasizing the shapes and details.

Overall, the piece is mesmerizing and balanced, evoking a sense of luxury and precision. Its repetitive and colorful nature gives it a decorative and mandala-like quality.

A wall of stone sinking into the endless blue. Where the light refracts, the passageway becomes the gentle whisper of water. #photographylove #myart #MyPerspective #OpticalIllusion #PantaRhei #BlueskyMonday #scape
