The invigorating and absorbing maritime scene below, with echoes of Dutch artist M C Escher, was forwarded to me by a friend. It was presumably done with the aid of a computer graphics program, which would have given the artist (unknown) a lot more power and control than Escher would have had working (as he did) with a hand-drawn grid. The result is therefore (IMHO) - though perhaps less inspired than many Escher engravings - more immediately striking and aesthetically pleasing.
Fiction...

...and fact.
Spot the difference. This picture - which is totally unrelated (and to the best of my knowledge unretouched in any way) - is the spanking new Millau Bridge over the River Tarn in France, which opened to traffic two days ago.
