His pictures are an excellent example of how art can be used to fool the eyes.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure )

I had seen the second picture (with the pink house) before but not the others. Amazing what the right camera angle can do.
And in reverse I like the technique used when taking photos from the air that makes real buildings etc look like miniatures.

That's brilliant, they look so real! What beautiful cars they had years ago, so much more character and pleasing to the eye than the run of the mill things of today.
