Optical illusion - what is it? (see below)

Eugene/Springfield, Oregon, US

GIVE UP?

Ok, it is our skylight. :) Instead of being an triangular shape, the painted area is sloped and the lighter area to the left of it is another side of the sloping ceiling. The area at the top and angling down each side is really the ceiling and what looks like a pyramid is where the ceiling goes up to the skylight itself.

I recognized it from the paint work. Great point of view. Did you two come up with your own decoration ideas? This sure was a neat one.

Well Vern, I would never have guessed if I had not seen the answer. A lovely piece of work.

Well how am I supposed to guess when you already gave the answer? LOL Nice shot and nice paint job!

I recognised it from your series of shots that you made when you had the builders in. It's good work. Can you make out about 1" from the top.. a bird like shape, the eye, beak and the blurr around it looks like wings. It looks like a humming bird shape to me.

Looks like an off axis view of some sort of wedge or ramp...

I don't know either... but this is a very beautiful shape!
