M.C. Escher Reflections

I was inspired by a little book filled with M.C. Escher (1898-1972) woodcuts. He loved to play with perspective much to the delight of his viewers. This photo is unremarkable until turned upside-down. Then it becomes a visual pun as the trees appear to go up a hill. Study the photo for awhile and you'll see what I mean....the reflection is on the top.  Hope you like it.

Here's the book jacket. It's a small pocket-sized book with lithographs & woodcuts.

  1. I positively hate Escher's woodcuts - but especially and definitely like your photos.

  2. Awesome shot. I love Escher...he is the best in my estimation. You have given us a photo with that special touch of Escher in it. The mirror reflection is so cool. Great photo.

  4. Excellent work. Mr. Escher would be proud! It really is hard to tell which is the reflection, even after you explained and I turned my laptop (and head) sideways!

  5. Nice. I agree, it was hard to tell which one is the reflection and the real trees without the help of your instruction. Loved this.

  6. I enjoy Escher's work, too, but I'd never have thought of doing this. It's worked so well! Hmm, must find some time to go and experiment ;)
