I first thought this might be a hill in San Francisco but then I noticed that the parking sign is straight up in the frame. Well spotted!

This is a great optical illusion which was done with camera rotation. One thing that really throws me for a loop and makes me keep looking is the no parking sign... it appears to be vertical and if the photo was rotated it would be at an angle which makes me want to believe the houses are really built crooked. I just can't stop looking and wondering.

Aside from all that the photo is technically good with great color shot at what looks like nearly mid day light making it pretty average photography.

Technically Good Photo + Optical Illusion = A vote of 7.

Pretty amazing and bizarre architecture for sure. Do people actually live in them? If so I guess the inside of the houses themselves are normal with level floors and such. It strikes me that the curtains are not leaning with the house like one would expect them too. They must have been starched stiff to hang the way they do.

More impact if your false horizon was horizontal?
