What buildings have an illusion to look small but are not

[texcolo]

I'll second the opinion of the 'smallness' of AON Center.

I stood right across the street form it in Millium Park... it seemed 'small.'

i'm sorry guys, but one of the most directly vertical box-scrapers ever built will never seem small or short to me. i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

To give a sense of how unimaginably massive Wynn really is, it's the same height as Milwaukee's tallest, US Bank building.

That's crazy. And the Wynn is as wide as it is tall, right?

Stuttgart Planetary looks smaller than it is

The buildings of large thermal power stations look also often much smaller as they are. This comes from the fact, that these buildings are in most cases not surrounded by buildings with well-known height and are often seen from a large distance.

Generally tall structures not surrounded by others are always estamited lower. Take some pictures of radio masts and towers whose height you know and let someone estimate their height. The results are estonishing!

Tall pylons of powerline crossings of rivers and straits look often also not as tall as they are. This results in the circumstance that they are of same design as lower pylons, only just larger. How tall would you think is this pylon?



It is 346.5 metres tall ( taller than Eiffel Tower) and belongs to Yangtze River Powerline Crossing Jiangyin
