Um, I’m just guessing here, but maybe it is the angle of the camera.

I would have to say they only appear to slant maybe because the photo was taken on an angle to the right, as if it wasn’t looking square on down towards the buildings.

i think the google satelite camera shot two pictures from diffrent angles and joined the pictures together on a computer.

Paul Has It Right The Images Taken In Three Different Pass From A Different Orientation And Then Stitched Together Creating This Strange Effect

It’s the so called ‘Escher Effect’ on Google Earth…

Multiple passes by satellite. 1st pass takes a photo of an area from northwest (for example); 2nd pass takes a photo of an adjoining area from southwest (for example). Google stitches the two photos together and you have this “illusion.”

This isn’t hard to explain. These images are taken by satellite.

this does not always work but sometimes it does, the process of elimination:that is the process of figuring out what something is by figuring out what it isn’t; some crimes are solved this way by the police. first off this effect is not caused by the curvature of the earth because while the curvature of the earth is certainly there it is so minute as to be unnoticeable except from great distances; the closes is from five miles off, that is how far a boat has to travel on the sea to disappear from the horizon. it may be caused by the wind or pictures taken at different time of the day and spliced together as i cannot eliminate these, it may partly be caused by the towers tilting some, but i do not think that they lean enough to cause this much difference to be noticed. i think it is the inside of a computer because that is what it looks like now that it has been mentioned; use the internet explorer web browser and blow up the image 400 times and see.yes i know that i am not the person that solved this but the process of elimination does work some times

I see five or six different angles: cool to study Google earth.
