Ricardo is surely professional photographer by profession! He sent me this magnificent photo that you are seeing below. It’s so good, that you probably need a minute or two just to see what is the illusion in it. As you probably noticed by now, the building isn’t transparent at all! It just has perfect reflection of some other cloud (not seen in the photo), that fits 100% with the cloud behind the building. Ricardo wrote it in his own words: “On this photo I was lucky enough that two different clouds (one reflected on the building, another behind it) merged almost perfectly to create the illusion of a transparent building. Taken in Telford, UK. By the way, this was a real windy day, the effect lasted like 30 secs.” We had dozens of buildings appear in an illusion before. Just remember those 2D buildings, transparent buildings and strange buildings from the past. More of them can be found inside our categories. I believe many of them in Outdoors category. Enjoy!

Wow, that’s great!
what am i looking at?
that is so cool it looks like the building is see through!
that is so weird. i love illusions.
I love that illusion.
THAT’S THE BEST ILLUSION I’VE SEEN ON THIS SITE! :-)
I think the building reflects a cloud. At the top where the sky and building meet it is not equal.
Reflection.
That’s really cool. The photographer was really lucky to see this.
I wouldn’t believe because of that thing on top that didn’t go so well together. XD
a little confusing
it isnt equal at top or bottom
LOOK CAREFULLY
if u look at da angle of da building, u will c it is reflectng another cloud.
