Another one where your brain tries to interpret the black and white lines and little rectangles as light and shadow, only they don’t line up… So you can’t quite fix them in position, and they seem to shift.

Oooh, I really like this one. Not only do they dance around the box, they also bend and writhe.

We’ve been seeing lots of pictures of roads.

In paintings or photographs… some roads beckon, invitingly.

Other roads, though…. make you happy to stay home, with a nice fuzzy throw and a cup of hot chocolate.

Eek.

It looks different surrounded by other buildings.

In this picture it looks like it won’t stand for another month…. But that was probably 100 years ago.

Top picture:

Why does it look like all the people have white hats on?

I must be looking at something wrong.

But still…. why do the people look white?

Most people have dark hair or the men might wear brown hats …
Not many would look pure white from above.

Maybe there’s a construction project, so there are a lot of yellow hard hats that look white.

Or maybe some of the white dots aren’t people at all…. The eight in a tight circle are a street lamp.

I can see the different one…

Rather big hint :

It’s merely the circle, without the little vertical stroke at the bottom.

But as the person who made the picture was trying to make a puzzle, and succeeded… I wouldn’t call it a “mistake”.

Oh…. you want to know where it is?

2nd row from the bottom, 4th figure from the right.

Or if you’re the type who likes to keep to the proper order of things, even if it makes life difficult, Row 13, Figure 21.

My late sister and I were sent the Oz books by our aunt in Ontario.
Some of the illustrations in the video, I remember.
His alcoholism no doubt contributed to the failure of his three marriages.
I can find nothing about his son.
Even Pete Beard seems sad about his fate.

All the funnier because my only experience with Harbor Freight components was where I used to work. A test vehicle with prototype ($$$) parts, sensor$, and data acquisition computer$ burned up because the Harbor Freight fuses failed to open. Some extra fuses from the package were tested and 15A fuses opened at over 60A, and the 20A fuses went almost to 100A.

I think everyone here understands fuses, but just in case: a fuse is a device designed to fail (open) to cut power to sensitive or more expensive components.
