Here’s how people reacted to the picture featuring an optical illusion:
{{/usCountry}}“It’s an acute angle going away from the pov,” posted a Reddit user.
Another added, “It’s probably a triangle shaped building and from the perspective they’re at it just looks like a sheet. My first time seeing a townhouse with that shape had me confused until I had gotten around to the other side.”
“A glitch in the matrix,” wrote a third.
A fourth explained, “If it’s still confusing for anyone. Imagine it’s the point of a triangle. It widens and then has a squared off back from this point of view.”
“They forgot to build the building. They just built the glass and said ‘ok’,” joked a fifth.
A sixth shared, “There’s a building very similar to this one in Atlanta off northeast parkway. Cool optical illusion.”
“Thank you. I couldn’t get over it. I had to know. Here’s another angle for those who still don’t get it. https://goo.gl/maps/5BmpPxBqQzsC4oWB7,” commented a seventh.
