Escher World
Every action has an equal and opposite... oh, nevermind. | |
*Yawn* S t r e t c h. I get out
of bed, pad over to my fish tank
to give them their breakfast.
Oddly, half are moving left, the
other half to the right. Looking
in the kitchen I notice
yesterday's breakfast - a
croissant - but can't tell if
it's whole or half eaten.
Shrugging it off, I step
out of
my basement apartment and onto
the roof of my highrise building.
Breathing in the fresh air, I
listen to the water splashing in
the rooftop garden and once again
wonder how the thing runs without
a pump. Birds are flying
north/south for the winter. As I
step back inside I squint at the
sun trying to figure out if it's
rising or setting...

Some naps disorient you that way. Amongst a number of other things I want to illustrate when I've the time* is a navigational tour through an Escher Drawing. I'll post it here when done. *Patience, dear child. |

My apologies to [jutta] and all
.5B. I've been sleep deprived
this week and didn't notice the
catagory. [jutta] if you can't
move this idea just [mfd] it. |

[phoenix]: Can't you move it yourself? (scroll down) |
|
| |
Mephista, does this mean you live with phoenix? |
|
| |
go rent "Labyrinth" starring David Bowie.....his castle is much like Mephista's house..... |

NOOO! What happened to the Roller Coaster Idea? It was one of my favorites. |

[barnzenen] I may have been unoriginal at the time, but here's an example of the idea you miss (link) |

Thank god, I can start to breath normally again. |

<holds smelling salts under barnzenen's nose> the original MRC link is broken <gives barnzenen a consoling sugar lump> (po has an endless supply - shares in Tate & Lyle) |

Imagine falling down the drawing of the stairs. |
