I don't remember where I saw it; but, I have seen this pic on a website where the photo was taken from the opposite side.

I'll have to see if I can find that website....would be interesting to see them from the other side.

Yeah, I saw the photos that were taken from the other side.  They look totally different.  It's quite amazing the optical issusion they created.  Let me see if I can still find them.

Here is the website that contains many chalk arts (I don't want to hotlink so many images).  Check it out, they are truly amazing. http://www.owlsprings.com/chalk/ChalkIndex.html

Here are a few examples of the images looking from a different angel.

Thanks Jenny I just came across the same info on mightyillusions.blogspot.com.  Really amazing how they do that.  Seeing them from the other direction only adds to my amazement and wonder.   ;D
