Park Guell Architecture Illusion

This is an excellent photo. The architecture and the person blend to give the viewer a slightly brain bending feeling.

The below image is part of Park Guell in Barcelona. The Barcelona Tourist Guide says the following:
Park Guell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy.

Guell park contains amazing stone structures, stunning tiling and fascinating buildings. (read more)

The above building is leaning like this by design and the person in the photo leaning back against the building just adds to the dizzying effect that this image creates.

    Though this is a great picture,I really think it would be cooler looking if the person was standing straight.
