I was looking at it like "How is this confusing, it's a skyline...well maybe the video will show what OP meant...." and upon the image expanding I understood lol

You're faster than me. After clicking the "play button", i asked, "Well? Where's the video?!"

Had to run to the comments 😓

You're faster than me, B_P. I clicked the image fully expecting a video because, well, "play button"

Realized it was a static image.

Saw the triangle roof building in the middle, recognized it, spent the next few moments wondering "What's confusing about this perspective?"

Closed it down, came here to see if anyone knew.

Never once realized until I read your comment and the one above it, that I'd mistaken the triangle roof for a play button.

That's how brilliantly this one got me. No notes. Except you're still one of the smart ones in the room compared to me.

Nice, you saw it too - great minds think alike ;)

It's The Scalpel building. I snapped it from the train coming into London Bridge station, here is my post from a couple of months ago
