For this edition of this popular game, can you guess what you believe is wrong — or, at least, seemingly quite bizarre — with this interactive photograph part 309?
I used Google Maps to verify and capture something odd that I recently saw in the city of Foley in Alabama. The Street View image below is interactive if you want to change its perspective.

Answer to What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 308
While traveling during a recent business trip, Matthew Cohen took a photograph of a sign at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and asked me “What is wrong with this photograph?”
The moving sidewalk ended, all right — prior to construction in the terminal at the airport.
Favorite answer by derek: “It’s an illusion but seems crazy, anyways. There is a pit for the moving sidewalk but the supports seem to suggest they are being filled with a flat floor. However, there are two conflicting signs. One says to prepare to step off, despite nothing to step off from. The other is the sign giving conflicting information, saying ‘stop’ (not step off), though this is an illusion as the stop sign is actually outside the window.”
Favorite comment by Jim F.: “CLT was my home airport for many years, so I think I know exactly where this photo was taken. Since none of the moving components are pictured, I can’t tell whether they’re planning to repair this travelator (which didn’t work most of the time, anyway) or give up and replace it with solid floor. Which raises a question I’ve often had cause to wonder about…why is it that travelators (especially in U.S. airports) are so often out of order?”
