Escher was here

Do you know Escher, a dutch graphic artist of the 20th century ?
He used to paint stairs going nowhere, giving a feeling of impossible reality.

I’m sure ESCHER was inspired by the LEFUEL staircase in the Richelieu’s aisle of the Louvre.

    Wonderful shot, it is like an Escher print :) I love the angle you used.

    What a lovely photograph! Michel, you surpass yourself. This is, indeed, an Escher etching, though with color. Also, it continues the theme of your last photo, n’est-ce pas?

    A bientot.

    Hello Michel! Another fine photo - I agree with you - this is definitely Escheresque. BTW - we’re back in town. There’s another Escher photo op you must see at a church near Picpus - more later.

    Excellent use of a wide-angle lens. What focal length, if you recall?
