Long story short, its not a shop, and is real. It only looks this way at one angle, and no others. At other angles you can see how it would have to truly exist in order for it to appear as it does before you. I made a response but it must of gotten auto-spam-blocked.

Those are fun, because they make idiots think that everything in the world is photoshopped.

It is not photoshopped, unless the person were lazy. Note the ambient shading value of the middle beam in contrast to the remainder of the figure. I'm still searching for video proof, until then, <a href="http://im-possible.info/english/articles/tiles/tiles.html" rel="nofollow">see this</a>. It is possible, this I assure you.

I don't believe you. I'm more than willing to believe that this isn't shopped if anybody can show me proof that doesn't involve saying "it's at an angle." As far as I'm concerned, the ONLY way for this to not be shopped is this: The middle bar comes off perpendicular to the foreground post, and is hanging in mid-air. The background post has a bar coming out of it, and the photo is aligned to line up the two seperate bars. This solution also solves the mysterious shadow of the middle bar, too. Nothing is at an angle, though. casemods, reboot, & RJ… you claim this is real. I don’t believe you.

However, it is indeed not easy for the eye to pick up the trick. Wonder if anyone tried to do such a sculpture from The Blivet... Yep,it is at an angle, so the sculpture is possible.

All of the intersections are perpendicular. The "middle" beam is cut so that when viewed from exactly the angle it appears to line up with the lower right beam. I feel silly explaining it, like explaining how the magician pull a coin from behind your ear, but some people don't seem to get it. It’s genuine,no photoshop.
