RB Tour con’t: The Optical Illusion

The Nix Medical Center in downtown San Antonio is built in such a way that from the right angle it looks completely flat.

Then we have the giant bronze statue of St. Anthony, the patron saint of children and where San Antonio got its name (because it was founded on the catholic day for St. Anthony).

Then we have the big mural from the hemisfair, which apparently is a big deal for San Antonio because it's the only major event everyone remembers. In the center are Adam and Eve. To the right you have the history of western civilization going from the colonists to the roman empire, and on the left you have the history of the Mexicans/Indians.
