Endless Stairs


A couple of weeks ago I met up with fellow blogger Cynthia  (wisdom for a simpler life)  who was visiting London from the USA.  Sadly the weather was not on our side but between the showers we managed a walk along the South Bank before visiting the Imperial War Museum. It was fun meeting up with a cyber friend and finding we had much in common.
Outside the Tate Modern was this artwork called 'Endless Stairs'. It was inspired by the drawings of Escher and designed by a group of architects using 15 interlocking staircases.

  2. It is wonderful and I think almost as confusing as the drawings.

  4. Don't you just love meeting up with cyber friends? I would also love to walk on those Escher-inspired stairs! Maybe one day. :-)

  5. I always found the drawings did my head in - so I can't imagine how I'd cope with the 3D version!! It looks amazing - a little bit reminiscent of the staircases at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies??

  6. Think I know the drawing you are talking about but the real thing makes my eyes go funny.

  7. It was a nice experience for me to meet a blogger friend, too! This was just one of the fun surprises on our walk, and the weather was really quite cooperative. The day before I was hailed on! Thanks for sharing your day, Marie!
