One's a spicy pepperoni the other is a plain old margarita.

Sorry missed the 'leaning tower' bit.

Besides the vertical 'white line' between the pictures, is that the Mitsubishi logo on the base of the towers above the main arches? :confused:

don't know about this question, but saw capital gate tower in abu dhabi last week, bloody hell that's come on in only a few months...and will be leaning even more than the tower of pisa, apparently...

I've got it - the left hand side picture - the very top arches - you see someone waving - 4th arch in from the side - right hand picture - nothing.:blink:

Keep these kind of puzzle posts coming - not as if I've got anything else to do in downtown Riyadh at the moment.

Re: Spot the difference

Yeah - because it isn't.
It's deception.

Can we have the answer, please? My only observation is that the sky looks slightly darker blue in the second picture, possibly helping to make the tower appear to be leaning over more. Why I don't know.

Heard a rumour that the HVAC consultant has made huge mistake on the design. Almost uninhabitable is the word on the street.:blink:

Deception again...the dark blue on the right picture is the same darkness as the left of the left picture.
Similarly - the blue on the right of the left picture is the same as the right of the right picture.

If you swapped the 2 pics around - the right would still 'appear to have a darker blue....and to lean more'.


I'm starting to think there isn't a difference aside from that fact that one is on the left and one is on the right.

Aldar HQ has been one cock up from start to finish!

Anyone wondered why the glass took so long to finish?

The steelwork at the top was all to cock and was 'out' by over 100mm, suppose its not a lot on a building of that size ! :eek:

The cooling on the building is a nightmare, especially when a certain consultant was wanting to install over 250 LV Spotlights on every floor in the lift foyers!

The air handling units were gonna be as big as Dubai!

Re: Spot the difference
 
So what's the bloody answer then? My guess is that there is no difference whatsoever.
