I do not know if the title of this image makes sense, but that is how I felt when standing next to the Bloch Building at the Nelson Atkins. Every way you walked, your eye would be presented with another combination of angles. Crouching lower or moving in closer all made a difference in perspective. The reflection in the window was what really struck my eye in this image. I have a collection of images just from this side of the building that I may share in the near future.
The steep walls of this unnamed crater allow the ejecta material to travel further as a ground hugging flow, than if it had landed on a flat surface. At the distal edges of these ejecta deposits we see angular flow features, likely formed by locally accelerated flow conditions due to steep slopes. Unlike the flat and smooth mare surfaces, the slope-rich bumpy highlands create various flow conditions, which result in distinctive morphologies that help lunar scientists understand resurfacing processes on the Moon. Especially the importance of ground hugging flows.
