For me, at least, the top two pictures have an optical illusion. When I first look at them, I actually see a bunch of cylinders (or maybe fish scales?) instead of waves. However, once I look more carefully, the waves appear, and I can't see the cylinders until I look away for a while.

This seems so unlikely that I even double-checked that the picture was a jpg and not a gif.
