This is the same photo, side by side. They are not taken at different angles. Both sides are the same, pixel for pixel.

These two pictures are identical.

This was a great bafflement to the internet earlier this year, but it actually has some precedent - something called the Leaning Tower Illusion, featuring two identical photos of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

According to the creators of that illusion, it's likely because we perceive the two images as one whole scene. If we were standing in front of it looking at it directly, the street on the left would be turning more to the right.

This happens because we possess depth perception and an instinctive understanding of perspective - our brains automatically "correct" the angle as if we were looking at a single scene in three dimensions.
