Oh this is so embarassing ... I can't believe I didn't see how this was done. I guess I was so fixed on what i thought I'd seen that I didn't allow for other options. If it's any consolation, my vote was according to the suggestions, that is, not influenced by my suspicions.

Do you agree there's a point along the left-hand-side of the construction that looks exactly like it contains the artefacts of poor cloning, though?

Very tempting to edit my comment ... very tempting ... but I'll leave it there, as a reminder, perhaps.

it's all good, e, it kinda cracked me up when I saw it. I do have to agree it does look edited, but then, that was the point:)

Could someone explain this photo to me- when I saw it I didn't see anything unusual, out of place or "cloned"

Follow the edges of the triangle thing. It's an optical illusion. The highest most edge appears to connect to the lowest most edge of the other side. Similar to some of M.C. Escher's famous drawings.

basically, three right angles don't make a triangle, but, the picture clearly shows each angle being 90 degrees. I'm kinda surprised how many people don't know Escher's work.

Ok, I'm one of the guilty ones...I completely missed this! stupid..stupid..stupid...I will pay closer attention in the future! Thanks for teaching me a little lesson!

i am familiar with escher-but didn't see it at first-ther's alot going on in the shot-thanks for the expl. Good Illusion. It would be nice to see same illusion in simplified environment.

Couldn't agree more. The illusion as built is well constructed, but the backround and lighting are concerned with the process of creating that illusion rather than moving it forward. Escher showed his creations in ordered but mythic environments, flat planes, orderly desktops, and starfeilds, to enhance their oddness, it seemed to work well for him.

Well I'm one of them! Ah well ignorance is bliss as they say...

I love Escher's art - absolutely fascinating.

There are a number of superb images using similar techniques to this entry - the illusion only works from EXACTLY the right angle... from any other angle it becomes clear that the "joints" do not meet.

your absolutely right, from any other angle, it doesn't look like much of anything:) well, hopefully this post will introduce more people to the world of Escher, it is definitely fascinating, to say the least. I only referenced Escher in the photo btw, I wasn't trying to reproduce any exact piece, rather, just be inspired by them!
