Thats as it may be smokey, but how do you account for what appears to be selective distortion. If viewed from almost 80 deg above those circles should be almost circlular and not elipses indicating a narrower angle. I cant believe a lense is capable of this sort of distortion of a selective basis by paralleling up the runway as if from above but ignoring the other markings.If you look at the runway edge it looks a bit bold and contrived to me as well

"You cannot recreate the perspective of a photograph by merely drawing lines on a piece of paper and viewing them at different angles."

Of course you can .What do you think LAX is when viewed from above. A series of lines and circles.....same principles of perspective apply


I agree with Not so ..Its been fiddled with
