Not just because of my personal interest in POV-Ray but Tourist Trap by ~eriban is a well executed illusion and an original idea. There are lots of impossible cubes and confusing ladders out there, but ~eriban's work is a pretty authentic one.

Description

Created in a bygone era, by a people long forgotten, using skills forever lost, the Tower at the World's Corner prominently stands at the corner of the world. Trespassing is allowed, but mind the step. Please make a donation before you enter.

Technical Details and Credits

This image has been rendered using the POVRay raytracer. No post-processing has taken place on the image to make the illusion work; this is the 3D scene as it is rendered by the raytracer.

The grass is made using macros by Gilles Tran. The palm tree is made using the tree macro by Tom Aust, modified by Gena Obukhov. The chain is made using a macro by the PM 2Ring, using catenary calculations by Zdislav Kovarik.
