New York City last week

You have no idea!

Some are so tall that you can literally see the vanishing point

Slobodan, I’m fascinated to know how this was lit? Is it simply the sun and you’ve filtered the sky to black? Or is there more to it?

It’s a lovely image.

... If you were to show Eric's first photo in this thread to someone who was not familiar with photos in general and knew nothing about photography, such as a young child from a remote village or even an adult* in that remote village, such a person would express certainty that the buildings on the left and right of the image are leaning...

And you showed them a mirror, they'd think you are the devil himself

* Didn't realize you live in a remote village and know nothing about photography. It is all much clearer now

Thanks. It is pretty much it, as you suspected.

Didn't realize you see everything as though you are looking through a camera viewfinder. I'm a bit concerned for you. I hope you do not find yourself in a situation where you confuse something that is actually leaning dangerously, with something that just appears to be leaning because of perspective distortion. That could be disastrous.

And some stretch out the other way.

Amazing!
All the buildings to the right of the highway are tilting to the right, and all the buildings to the left are tilting to the left!   

You missed the most frightening aspect of them all, Eric: the buildings in the middle are about to shoot straight up into space!

Too many pictures... too much stress!

Easy explanation, Eric. The road must have been built on a watershed line.

That's why experts exist!

Boy, I'm sure glad we have all the experts we need right here on LuLa!
