I’m guessing it’s off of Google Earth or Microsoft Virtual Earth. Basically a satellite photo. What’s wrong with the photo has to do with the car on the side of the building in the lower left and the unusual perspective on the building. My guess is that an artist set up this tease of an optical illusion for the satellites to capture. I have no guess on where it’s from though..
1) Photo was taken by Google Earth Satalite
2)http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115472970803810059655.000436b3d2432ac6012f8&ll=52.069425,4.313928&spn=0.000646,0.001824&t=k&z=19&om=1
3) Extreme Parking is actually the work of artist Theo van Laar, who has continued the car park markings up the wall and attached a gravity-defying Mini. At night time the car’s headlights even light up! You can see the work from the ground during the day or at night.
4) around 10 min on google
I think Joshua has won, but what a fun idea!
I found the source and background, but not the original URL (gave up after seeing Joshua’s answer).
