| in this Google map, the CN tower and other buildings to the left are leaning South, while the buildings below (on Gardiner Exprw) are leaning North. Can anyone help me figure out why?

no clue which building is which but if you take a picture directly above the item it will be straight. but if you take a picture and there is a straight item to the left of the lens, then that will appear to be bent. on the right of the lens, bent to the right.

Yep, it was taken at just the right freak angle to distort this. Every extra second that I look at this, I get nauseous.

but where would you say the center is? you can also see that there are even smaller bldgs that look like they're set for a collision course as well. ( see left of rogers center - big round white domed bldg.)
not sure how to upload a jpg here, but if you can instruct me, I can show you what I mean. . .

| These are optical distortion effects. In addition, don't look for consistency - the image might have been stitched from different satellite images taken at different times...
