(...) Cheating or not, it's awesome! Even forgetting the crazy optical paradoxes for a moment, your design of the structure is really nice. I especially like the starburst things atop the towers, and the waterfall is very cool as well. But I LOVE (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.build)

  Re: Yet another Escher - "Waterfall"
 
(...) WOW! I don't see any 'cheating', so I'm interested to see what you're talking about. Wicked cool star things on top of the buildings- how did yo make those? Are the pants dry yet? (nice clothsline) ;) Jeff (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.build)

I really had to search for the way you did it, because at first glance, it's perfect! But by following carefully the edges of the plates, I found the clue I was looking for. It's amazing how precise this thing is! Makes me envy you so much! Terry (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-03, to lugnet.build)
