Parallax

Noun - The effect whereby the position or direction of an object appears to differ when viewed from different positions.


This shop is right in front of my work.  Every day I walk out and say to myself.....


'Self, something just doesn't look right.'

On a quick glance I couldn't quite figure it out.  It seemed strange, but I though that it was because the street is on a slope or something.  Finally I stopped to really take a look at it.  Turns out the whole building is tilted like 15% off vertical (double click to enlarge)



You know the guy stocking shelves has to notice that things don't sit right and fall off the shelves all the time. Seems like a pretty significant structural issue to seemingly ignore.
