Picturesque Bend, Oregon

Got to visit Bend, Oregon for the first time ever on a business trip. Very picturesque view out my hotel window. That area used to be a paper plant, now turned into a restaurant and shopping district. A strange parallax effect happened when I looked at this same scene further back in my room. When at the window, I saw what you see in the shot above. When I went to the other side of the room and happened to look up, I saw the view you see below. I sort of jumped, thinking, what a minute, the paper plant is right next to the hotel. I don't quite understand the shifting perspective, but it was very weird.

I did not zoom the lens. It is set to the same wide angle as the previous shot. Very strange effect.
