The landscape is flat, not tilted. So.............

Actually, if you look at the submitted picture, the horizon on the left side of the pic seems higher than the horizon at the right side. If you correct for that, no tilt.

Should be razed. It's a masonic symbol.

That's because sometimes the horizon is not a straight line ( there are often natural elevations), unless you are in the ocean.
The picture has been aligned to the horizontal line of the roof on the bottom left side of the picture.
Also I aligned it with the other vertical structures.
Tilt is there.

The box is not tilted.
Take a T-square and you can easily verify this, or you can open it in photoshop or another photo editing program.
If you really want to be sure of it, it's always better that you do your own checking.
Try the live cam link and a photo editing program and i'm sure you will come to the same conclusion i got.
