Cafe Wall Illusion

The Cafe Wall Illusion consists of white and black tiles that at first glance, seem to hang down at each end. The tiles are in a straight line, but they look like they could be in a zig-zag pattern. This happens because of the gray grout that holds the tiles together. It seems to "bend" the tiles around. This phenomenon was first noticed on a cafe wall in England.
