Escheresque

I had to show a photography piece that I found recently.


The photo alone was enough to blow me away. It's the kind of work I'd expect from an artist like this. At first I thought this was photoshop work. Surely something this cool couldn't exist on real life. 

I was dead wrong. I did a little research and found that this is an actual staircase in Split Croatia. An artist modeled the staircase for a palace in tribute to M.C. Escher, the famous illusion sketch artist. 

It just amazes me that things like this actually exist in the world. People are willing to make the strangest designs in art and architecture to honor people like him.
