The Ames Window illusion

A simple example, first done by Adelbert Ames Jr., of how our minds can be fooled by reality. It is such a strong optical illusion that even when explained, and even modified to prove the window's rotation, we still see it as an oscillation. One wonders what else we perceive that is not as it appears, no matter how closely we look.
