Leaning Tower

December 06, Pisa, Italy
Comparing the colon on the right and people standing there, you can see how much it is leaned (5,5 meter on the top)! Unbelievable!

I always wonder how this thing is still standing.

@Behrooz: They changed the foundation and base colons through the time! It started to lean after two years and the same architects tried to fix the problem! It's really complicated architectural process!

Classic shot. It is pretty amazing that it hasn't toppled yet.
