Description
Gravity Hill, New Paris, Pennsylvania, USA. This is an example of a gravity hill, an optical illusion where a road with a small gradient appears to be sloping upwards, but is in fact sloping downhill. Objects such as cars will appear to roll uphill. The effect is usually due to the horizon being obscured and surrounding objects providing misleading visual cues that reinforce the illusion about the slope.
