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.
I've seen this optical illusion myself more than a dozen times. I deliver things in Port Colborne all the time. Hell, Google has a sight-seeing section on it.
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. 😁
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.
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.
You said a whole lotta nothing. One the mill doesn’t actually disappear. They are referencing that way to describe it appearing close but actually is further away than how perceived
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.
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
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!!

Bold move putting your phone number out there for the world!
He’s a real estate agent... that’s what they do...
Must give him a call from Europe!!

really? in reverse too, so its not just the mill then, do you think it works with people? i wonder what the cause is.
The only thing harder to believe than this optical illusion is that this phone is mounted and not being held in your hand. ;)
I don’t think it’s on the mount the whole time-you can hear him take it off at the end. Driving over icy, slushy snow is not a smooth ride.

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

Your mounted device sure moves like someone's holding it 😆
My thoughts too
It is a pretty bumpy road tho.

Waddup
Yep
No and I live in port cologne so I have no reason why I clicked this
@@carsonscorner1188 wth is port cologne
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.

Good job mounting that mobile phone to your hand.....
LOL my thoughts too
This guy literally says his phone number I’m dead lmao
he’s canadian 😂😂
Nice, thanks!
People saying cause of this or that, but the angle changes too. You shouldn’t even be able to see it down that road
WOKE UP AN OPTIMIST
Hey can you post an updated video of this?
By any chance!????
The mill doesnt change size at all through out the vid. However, in comparison to the guardrail ...
That’s the whole point 🤦🏻♂️
hold your fingers on the mill the whole video and itll stay the same size
I did and it didn't work😂
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
Recorded vertically:/
When did it disappear ?
Earth curve HAHAHA why so serious
Parallax effect
Did he really gave his cell number? 😁

If you measure it in the video it get larger as he gets closer. Nothing special.
100% Aliens
Anyone call his number?
Ponzo Illusion.
Not that incredible. Mountains do this shit too.
