The shortest distance
“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.” Remember that from geometry?
So, it turns out that works in Euclidean geometry, and the actual, universal truth about the shortest distance between two points is “relative to the situation.”
Therefore, I believe this wall is non-Euclidean: look at that vent pipe snaking its way up the wall.

All those supporting cables and other bits and pieces and all I can wonder is which thing is going to fall down first?

It’s pretty much a race to the end, I think! And that parking structure that’s just barely visible on the left side? It’s the one with the NO PHOTOGRAPHERS sign on it.

Well, I have unfriendly feelings about that place so if it falls down first, that would be just.

The parking garage is connected with this building – http://www.wave3.com/story/23116526/city-of-lubbock-files-lawsuit-against-omni-building-owner – which really did practically fall down. The City bought it and is renovating it for the new city hall.

Yikes. I hope they got a good price. Does that mean the parking garage will come back into limits for photography?
