Did you ever think that the van looks bigger because it's closer to the photographer?

doesn't this building similarly resemble that building in code geass S1? That hotel hostage situation episode?

Most camera lenses have a bit of fisheye distortion, so this is normal. If it's very noticeable, i have to shop it out of my pics. I can't personally see any proof of photoshopping. If there is any, it's very well done.

One thing to look at is on the left side of the building, where the dark underside of the roof of each floor is visible against the blue sky. The angle at which it departs from the front roof line is dependent on the height. It shouldn't be to hard to calculate what that angle should be from the viewing angle. But once again, if you don't know what the lens is, this will be affected. This would prove or disprove any potential photoshopping.

As for being out in the middle of nowhere, one possibility is that it is being constructed now in order to prepare for future growth, and to avoid expensive land costs.

I think the more likely scenario is that it is either a model or a render superimposed on a hilly background, not a cut & paste more level shop.

It happens, though the angle & distance from which you choose to photograph can also make a huge difference in appearance.

It's obviously the first entrance to Tokyo-3. The tower is just temporary accommodation for those involved in construction until their underground quarters are finished.

First reaction: That bit at the top looks like one of the small castles from Super Mario, except white.

For a while I thought this was North Korea, as this is typical childish one-upmanship of the regime to want to show off that whatever the "Evil Imperialists" can do, they can "do better", whatever that means.

It's normal to see high rises out in the country in some parts of Britan.

Photoshop perhaps, but what is REALLY wrong with this? The shape of the building, or plenty of available area around?
