I can say I've exhausted the entire compendium of port colborne mill illusion videos on the internet all shot in different seasons and besides the cool illusion there is one thing I gotta say: this place is absolutely STUNNING

I’ve always loved this optical illusion! You can see it elsewhere of course, so I tried to find it driving back from Port Colborne to Welland down White Rd. If you carefully watch the trees in your rear view mirror, trees that initially appear to be small and far away appear to be closer and larger as you drive away from them! It’s the same illusion in reverse.

Bold move putting your phone number out there for the world!

The only thing harder to believe than this optical illusion is that this phone is mounted and not being held in your hand. ;)

I have driven on this road lots and never really noticed this......now I have to do it again

It remained the same size, the border created by trees got wider revealing the background as you drive forward that's why the structure looks like it is shrinking, but if you focus on the size of it through the whole video, you'll figure it out.

After watching videos like this. I had to look for the location on Google Earth. He’s driving on Lakeshore Road W. I followed the street view all the way down, and it literally looks like it’s shrinking. Even though it’s a fun illusion. 😁

so happy i found this video again! thank you!

Your mounted device sure moves like someone's holding it 😆

Who else is here because they saw a really cool TikTok video from #emmashand

That is explainable. You can clearly see the dip in the road as you drive. Thus causing the mill to look as if it is disappearing from view. Just before you reach the curve you can see the rise in the road and thus start to see the mill reappearing in view.

Scrub through and look at the thumbnail, it pretty much remains the same size if you only focus on the building. In fact it gets slightly larger.

guy left his cell xD only in Canada

I think it is because of the contrast of dense neighbourhood with all the trees and the wide open plane where it actually sits! when a building is very var away it usually dont move or scale alot and its the same with this mill i think it is really just the contrast of the sight of view you experience when you drive the road and then in the end when you just see the open field sry for bad english tho ^^' -edit it even gets bigger over time like a normal building. when you fix it with your finger @nosag Last said: its the same size. but when i tried it myself it got bigger just like it should

WOKE UP AN OPTIMIST

Nice, thanks!

Put the mouse cursor over the roof, so you see the scale of the building and have something arbitrary to compare it with. At the beginning the roof is smaller than in the end of the video. The size of the building actually grows because the camera gets closer.

Good job mounting that mobile phone to your hand.....

This guy literally says his phone number I’m dead lmao

People saying cause of this or that, but the angle changes too. You shouldn’t even be able to see it down that road

Hey can you post an updated video of this? By any chance!????

hold your fingers on the mill the whole video and itll stay the same size

The mill doesnt change size at all through out the vid. However, in comparison to the guardrail ...

Are you native to the area? A local?? I would It you a 4K camera to keep if you can upload a 4K video of this at roughly the same driving speed

Parallax effect

100% Aliens

Earth curve HAHAHA why so serious

When did it disappear ?

Recorded vertically:/

Anyone trying to explain this video, you're all wrong. What's happening in the video is not natural. Try this with any building or house or any structure, it can't be duplicated. This video defies the law of nature: something far away should appear small. Something close up should appear larger!!😠 Not the other way around!!

Did he really gave his cell number? 😁

If you measure it in the video it get larger as he gets closer. Nothing special.

Anyone call his number?

Ponzo Illusion.

Not that incredible. Mountains do this shit too.
