Weird or what

Yes - it is a strange but quite common illusion!

Another similar is a wire-frame 3D drawing of a cube, angled at 30º (isometric view) so the near top corner conceals the far lower corner; and the near vertical edge covers its opposite edge. It can similarly invert itself in your mind, or become a hexagon with its apices joined to its centre.

I am trying to teach myself CAD (computer-aided draughting), and sometimes outlines and geometrical locations in 3D views can be the very devil to read properly by similar effects.

A café I know has a view from certain tables of a portico on a shop diagonally opposite, which in certain lighting conditions after dark gives that feature an odd appearance reminding me of an M.C. Esher drawing.

I don't see them upside down...

@Sharky86 No, it is a strange effect, and it doesn't always work for me. When it does, the reversal is pretty well instant!
Pretty lame
