that's right, it's just an optical illusion. Perfect example of parallel lines with obliques crossing them and fooling us to think there's a convergence!
Too bad there are wires dangling from the middle... impressive architecture anyway.
By the way, we say "trompe l'oeil" :)
Thanks...:)
Don't think so...Vertical convergence has been neutralised, here. That gives an intentional "tromp d’oeil". Apply a grid over it and you'll see the lines are actually straight parallel ones. Of course, has the POV is a low one, that gives an "unnatural" feeling to it. Still, and again, this is intentional.
