HIGHWAY ARTWORK. IT IS A SERIES OF 7 SEMI-TRAILER TRUCKS THAT HAVE BEEN PAINTED BY A "TROMPE L'OEIL" ARTIST. (TROMPE L'OEIL IS FRENCH FOR 'FOOL THE EYE').

1) TRAILER PAINTED TO LOOK AS IF THE SIDE AND BACK ARE OPEN, AND A GIANT BOTTLE OF FOREIGN BEER IS STICKING OUT OF THE TRAILER.

2) ENTIRE TRAILER IS PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE A GIANT CANVAS TOTE BAG. THE STRAP APPEARS TO JUT OUT, BUT IT IS ALL A FLAT SURFACE.

3) THE TRAILER IS PAINTED TO LOOK OPEN, WITH CASES OF PEPSI-COLA IN STACKS, SUSPENDED FROM THE CEILING, AND THE BOTTOM OF THE TRAILER IS EMPTY.

4) TRAILER HAS BEEN PAINTED TO LOOK LIKE THE FRONT OF A TRUCK, COMPLETE WITH A WINDSHIELD AND A TRUCKDRIVER PAINTED IN THE "DRIVER'S SEAT". HE IS LOOKING BACK OVER HIS SHOULDER TO APPEAR AS IF HE IS DRIVING BACKWARD. (IN MY OPINION, THIS ONE COULD CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS!)

5) PAINTED AS A BEAUTIFUL, LIGHTED AQUARIUM WITH FISH SWIMMING IN IT AND "LIVE" VEGITATION.

6) ANOTHER FOREIGN AD -- THIS ONE A SHELF LINED FULL WITH BOOKS AND A POST-IT NOTE WITH THE NUMBER. THE BACK HAS A CORK BULLETIN BOARD.

7) THE LAST ONE IS FOR PRINGLES HOT & SPICY....WELL, SEE FOR YOURSE! LF.....

Think some of those might cause accidents,if you take your eyes off the road to long.

I call BS!
Photoshop, but still cool.
Unless the photographer happened to catch all these trucks at the same point in the road ( notice tree & post)
The cabs all look remarkably similar too
