ABC Wednesday--"U" is for "unsettling"

I like this floor pattern in downtown hallway where a friend lives, I really do, but I find it somewhat unsettling to walk on...which way are those little blocks going to tumble? :)

Very dizzyfying! I have a picture of a floor exactly like that—it's in the doge's palace, in Venice.

I like the pattern too. But, would not like to walk across that floor looking down. Made me dizzy just scrolling past.
