In the center of the Belgian village Ophoven is a sculpture of an impossible triangle. It only works from particular viewpoint. Seen from any other side, it just looks like metal bars in a Z shape, where one bar is bent behind. Checkt these three posts to get idea how this installation was done: “Impossibly Constructed Objects”, “Lego Escher” and “Impossibly Constructed Objects no.2”.
this is awesome! do you have a picture of that thing from another perspective? I guess the sides are kind of bend and then connect.. but you can’t see that from this angle..?
You’re right, Fred. Visit this webpage: http://www.planetperplex.com/en/img.php?id=310
and do as it says: click the image for explanation.
thats kool
belgen is pretty smart lol
PYRO
do that?
It’s obviously cut out from a website and pasted on a pic OR maybe the impossible has just happened.
the side on the left is kinda bented. Funkatated grammar.
This must be a hoax because if you notice where is this ITS IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET!!
In Pasadena, ca, there’s an huge ear if you look at it at a certain angle. fyi
That is friggin’ HUGE!
it looks like it was done in photoshop or something, then they put another picture behind it to make it look real.
I modeled the thing in AutoCAD huys… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOyEiKS9xzc
do u guys not read the descriptions
incredible!
Bob has a point. If you quick-to-judgement people whoare only here to see the pictures actually read the description, perhaps you wouldn’t be so confused, or convinced that it is a hoax.
the link in comment 2 says it all, also if u look at the pic, the shadow is messed up looking, not triangular in any way
and it is in the middle of the dividing section of the street, its called toursism :P
That’s right, by looking at the color arrangement, you can see the curves. Although from that specific angle, it looks all straight.
here’s from another angle

I can see that it bends more than half way up the side on the left. You see a streak of light a a slight curve.
i think that the top of the triangle is curved back (because of the small section that’s shiny)
M.C. Escher came up with the impossible triangle years ago…so you might want to check out some of his works…
IMPOSSIBLE IS RIGHT
