Bright Side wants you to take a look at the pictures and try to understand where the hidden object is and how some tricky illusions work. If you have trouble, you can just read the explanation.
The illusion of 2 angles
This illusion is becoming more and more popular on the internet: we think that these pictures were taken from 2 different angles, but in fact, they are identical.

3D zebra crossing
Do you see giant stones floating in the air? By doing this, Icelandic authorities tried to make car drivers slow down at the pedestrian crossing. The citizens like the 3D zebra crossing and it does the trick: any driver slows down instinctively when he or she sees the “stones.”
A mysterious lake
“Do you see the lake?” — this is what an Imgur user wrote under this picture. Many people gave an affirmative answer. But in fact, there is no lake here. This is just a concrete wall and a sandy beach is at the top of the wall.

A GIF with sound
Marc Blank-Settle shot the illusion on camera when he was cleaning his son’s room: both parts look identical if you put them on top of each other. If you place one of them under the other, they look different.
Many people thought it was just a camera trick but in fact, this illusion was carefully studied in the 19th century and is called the “Jastrow Illusion.”
