The bars are parallel but appear to be wider at the top – an example of the Ponzo illusion. Ethereal blue bubble A wonky blade. Are the sides equal, so that the blade is leaning over, or is the near edge longer than the far one, so that it's pointing downwards? The perspective is the same either way. Santa turns into Norwegian dramatist Ibsen (well, someone a bit like Ibsen).
