Yer, look the same lol. I suppose if you include the blue sky from the picture on the right when looknig at the first picture, it makes it look straight. But meh

Think some people are making it seem more on the gypsies due to the angle on the left hand side of the right hand tower being greater than the angle on the right hand side of the left hand tower lol.

Deffo look the same to me too.

Look identical to begin with

If I tilt my laptop slightly it looks like they're both vertical

it's witchcraft I tell thee!

They look the same here too, I had to read the article to see what the illusion is but still can't really see it.
