Algae by Akiyoshi Kitaoka
The six thin strips within this circle, created by Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka, appear to tilt alternately. In reality, each of the strips are all parallel with one another. It certainly does not appear that way, but if you hold up a straight edge to the side of each of them, you will see that they are all perfectly straight and parallel.
