Not sure if we already have a thread like this, anyway the title is pretty self-explanatory.

Found this one while browsing wikipedia:

An ammunition technician approaching a suspected object in Northern Ireland. Love how the sign/mural morbidly fits the situation.

I got berated for creating a thread like this back on the old forums - called an emo and whatnot.

I'll contribute.

I think everyone will find this picture moving, but not touching.

I would find that moving but the banner clearly says that the kid missed 'X' but that would mean he has a soul. The kid is a Ginger though...

My vision is fine thanks. I fear for your sanity though if you think that image is moving.

I don't think its moving, i know its not moving, but the human eye is tricked into believing its moving, and whats what you see.

Yes, I am perfectly familiar with optical illusions. The image you posted isn't one, at least to me.

Yeah same I can't see it 'move' at all. That's the worst optical illusion you could have gone for.
