Illusions, a thought provoking book recommended to me by some friends. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is a picture of the Reichstag building in Berlin, Germany that was the inspiration for the middle image. As soon as I saw the lines and all the pattern in the columns I knew I would use it for something.
