'Sinking' houses are the new optical illusion trend
Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
The internet is going mad over this rather weird trend of 'falling' houses on the world's steepest streets.
Pictures of sinking houses are making the rounds all over social media, but in actual fact, it's a weird optical illusion using photos taken on the world’s steepest street.
According to Unilad, the hill’s slope is at a 19-degree angle, with a gradient of 1:2.86m, which means that the hill goes up one metre for just under every three metres you go forward.
You must google search Baldwin Street, Dunedin, New Zealand, it's quite a steep hill!
What do you think of these images?
