What You See Depends on Where You Stand

While driving home after work a few days ago, I had a shock for a split second because I thought some of the buildings along the bit just before Marina Bay Sands and which are still under construction, were leaning at an angle as if they were going to topple over anytime soon.

After that split second, I did remember that the view is such only because that stretch of ECP sat on a gentle slope. I have driven past there countless number of times but almost each time I will get that momentary fear... my brain often fails to ping me fast enough about things like that!

This is a real-life illustration of how our view (of a given situation) is determined by the ground that we stand upon.
