We show that if $K$ is a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space $H$, $e$ is a non-zero arbitrary vector in $H$ and for each $t\in \mathbb{R}$, $z(t)$ is the closest point in $K + te$ to the origin, then the angle $z(t)$ makes with $e$ is a decreasing function of $t$ while $z(t)\neq 0$, and the inner product of $z(t)$ with $e$ is increasing.
Keywords: Moving convex set, nearest point projection.
