Wow. This is a pretty new optical illusion, so you most likely haven't seen it before. As you first look at this carefuly crafted piece of art, it will just appear that the artist is spraying his hose and the water is splashing on the sidewalk, and going down a drain.
Then you'll look closer and see some more! (see below image for the rest of the explanation).
That's right, that drain right there, isn't real. Don't worry, if you drop your keys down that grate you aren't going to lose them. The hose, the water, EVERYTHING is fake (except for the artist). If you're familiar with this artist, his name is Julian Beever and he is one of the most prominent sidewalk chalk artists there is. I just LOVE this one, don't you?

A version of our original moving spiral illusion was recently published in a popular college textbook.
It uses multiple illusory principles to give the illusion that it is moving when it is absolutely not moving. Big enough to be your desktop background!
