Fascinating image!
And illusionary...
...just sit back and stare at the image, see a hump in the middle??? #515552

William C. Raco May 02, 2004

Thank you all very much.
Kathleen, I have a great mentor who is tutoring me.
I have to admit, I am learning a lot ;-)
Nobi, yes I see it.
It is an optical illusion, probably caused by the curve and the diagonal perspective.
The bricks are flat.

Best wishes to all,

bill
