Forced Perspective

.
I assume from this article that forced perspective is the photo technique where you line up objects which are not really near each other to make them appear so. That's just one example though. There are others.

As I write this I realize that our view of constellations is also "forced perspective". When you look at the Big Dipper you see all the stars on the same plane. But of course they're not. They are light years apart in their distance from Earth.

Below are a couple of examples I found really interesting and unusual. I've seen bunches of these but these really caught my eye. Enjoy.

This one is the best Leaning Tower of Pisa image I've ever seen.


And here's one that I can't figure out. Maybe you can.


"How'd they do that?"
