Almost Champions

My softball team won their second playoff game 19-5 to advance to the Championship Game. This is a team that lost 70% of our regular season games, but in the playoffs we’ve outscored out opponents by an average of 16½ runs per game!

We ended up losing the championship game but got a huge trophy for runner-up. Plus we now qualify for the county-wide “Tournament Of Champions.”

Now throw in some busy city sidewalks and a bucket of street chalk and you’ve got the work of a European artist named Julian Beever. Beever creates chalk drawings on flat city sidewalks that amazingly appear three-dimensional when viewed from just the right angle. From any other angle the drawings look totally distorted. Above you see an amazing illusion of Beever acting as if he’s ready to dive into the drawing, which is really a totally flat section of sidewalk! On the right is another of his drawings where he is being rescued by Batman and Robin from a subterranean Gotham City. Below are two links with photos to many more of Beever’s 3D illusions. Enjoy
