The Aerial Lift Bridge as impossible cube

Jim Richardson (aka Lake Superior Aquaman) Aug 02, 2025 2 Comments

Not too long ago I looked at the Aerial Lift Bridge, and for a moment my mind mis-read it as having the wrong angles of an Escher-like “impossible cube,” pictured here. The optical illusion has stuck with me and now I have to force myself not to see it. It is beyond me at the moment to produce my mental image as a drawing or doctored photo, but I wanted to get the idea out there in case the vision inspires anybody. Post images as comments if you’re feeling it, otherwise I am content to just keep privately seeing an impossible lift bridge.

I like the image by itself for its weirdness but as I suspected the ChatGPT isn't up to rendering the bridge as an impossible cube exactly -- a surreal bridge to be sure, which I adore ~ but the city could actually build this -- and I hope they do (LOL). Thank you for this.
