Reason: Quality image of the Tower of Hercules, a lighthouse in northern Spain. Its original construction dates to first century AC. It was given a neoclassical restoration in 1791. I saw this on Commons FPC recently.

Comment – Is it just me, or might there be some vertical perspective distortion? – Sca (talk) 12:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Scrolling up and down with the verticals at the edge of my screen, I'm seeing that, if any, it is rather minimal. The building does have some non-straight bits (the base near the stairs has a noticeable slant), so that may be contributing to any perceived distortion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I thought the tower looked crooked, but I scrolled up and down too and it isn't. I think the spiral pattern may be producing an optical illusion. Moonreach (talk) 14:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chris, I think you meant to write "I'm 'not' seeing that . . . ", right? Bammesk (talk) 02:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. "I'm seeing that, if [there is any distortion], it is rather minimal." — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
