I'd be more impressed if it was actually 3D rather than a 2D painting that has been painted in such a way as to give the illusion that it is 3D.

Good point. Any speeder going down there would slow down, thinking "Hvað?!" ("What the...?!"), before realising it's an optical illusion, so they'd just speed down it the next time.

Those are both pretty cool. How about a pool full of crocodiles? ... driving into a dragon's mouth?
