AN OPTICAL ILLUSION ?



 Spotted from the window of the bus, near the Mirabeau stop, in Tours city centre.
A deliberate choice or a design misunderstanding?

  1. I can't see your worry. The shutters concertina against the windows, the windows open inside the room and the metal 'fence' stops people falling out of the window. Am I missing something ever so obvious?

    1. I thought the design of the metal rail was slightly unusual!
      So did the two young girls in the seat behind us.

    2. I didn't see it, before you described it, then I can't unsee it.

  2. It's possibly based on a design by the franco-flemish artist Dick Van Dyke

    1. The question is, was it a deliberate or accidental choice?!
