April Fool's Day 2010: Buildings Can Play Tricks Too!

Yes, it's true. Buildings can play tricks. And they do it even better than us(they don't keep repeating the put-a-glass-of-water-on-the-top-of-the-door-between-the-door-frame-and-wait trick every year) We are going to take a look at a few of these buildings, or Trompe l'oeill as it is called:

Uh-oh! What happened here??? Don't worry; nothing happened here! The girl and the hole are both flat!( Los Gatos, CA)

Wow! What a cool place! Guess what? It's flat(on top)! It was worth a look anyways! (Cannes, France)

This Jesuit church really has the spirit of Trompe l'oeil! See that big dome? It's flat too! The only clue is that no light flows through the windows. (Vienna)

Oh no! Another tragedy! But those epic pillars are just paint! This Trompe l'oeil stuff is really cool...don't you think?(unknown)

Why is this building all wrapped up? And where did they get such a big cloth? Once again it's just paint!(Toronto)

And now you know why I said it: buildings can play tricks!

p.s. Sorry I didn't post this on April Fools Day!
