Few remember the cantilevered wing at the Huntington Hotel in Pasadena. [shown below]

The Huntington Hotel and Swimming Pool, Pasadena California.
Seriously now:
Is it just me, or is this rppc creating an optical illusion.

As a kid, I dipped in that pool a few times. But what I remember most was the lush Bermuda grass on both sides of the pool. You even got a huge hotel towel to use. The public could use the pool for a dollar.
That hotel was my landing place for the Airport Bus in my Navy days. LAX <-> Huntington Hotel $3 one way....I think the bus left every two or three hours. We lived about 2 miles distant at that time.
Thanks
ER for the memories. [I believe the ivy on the side of the hotel gives an illusion.]
