Fans of landmarks, sunsets, and radiuses: watch this video of all your favorite things! Ray Zschau posted a video yesterday in which he compiles photos he took of the Transamerica Pyramid (SF’s sharpest-looking landmark) at the same distance but from different angles so that, when streamed together, the building appears to be spinning as the sun sets. If I’m not explaining it clearly enough, just click play:

Ahh, it’s like a beautiful, pointy ballerina!

If you’re into that, you might also like this older video of Sutro Tower getting extremely dizzy. Or this other post about a guy that climbed up to the very top of the Transamerica Pyramid. Really, if you’re into large iconic structures, you could kill a huge chunk of your workday in our archives.
