      From what I remember of this triangle, it's the angle that it's viewed
at that produces the illusion. I suspect that if you change the camera angle
on this image, you would have an entirely different view of it, ie,
something like two upright bars at opposing 45 degree(?) angles, at the end
of a horizontal bar at the base?

      Close Warp?  It's doing my head in!  ;)

       Great image though.
