wow suresh...great pics...especially loved the "another escher"...can't believe that it was created from a wood block imprint...awesome...
Woh Suresh!
Nice blog!
and at this point in the blog comment .. let me make an obvious book suggestion ...for anybody who was remotely interested in why Math is so beautiful
the book is called "Godel escher Bach" - the eternal golden braid by Douglas R hofstader
the book has the illustrations of the "Never ending" series by escher ...he never did call them infinite!
Absolutely stunning pics and Yes i do Concur with SSM about the (&*!%) ;)
keep em coming !
ssm, i had a blog on GPE long time ago. it really seems like it was in the jurassic era.
buck, and imagine the block making has to be done in reverse.
GS when i took the picture the Chief was one of the most hated persons. especially because of his xenophobic policies... and it cannot be the castle where R was hid because it is bang in the middle of the city!! Wasnt R's castle more in the wilderness?
hey beach, am not too crazy about nimmakaya as am more a beer person. so cant help u there. :))
lol ssm. indeed what would the whale riding maoris do in-between? drink beer perhaps? :))
doh. i tried reading GEB about a decade ago but could get past few pages. however, it did spark a tiny curiosity for the works of escher and bach . all i remember of that book is the author talking of 'infinite loops' and 'paradox of achilles' or something like that.
Hey Suresh,
great pics as usual..:) Lovely paintings..:)
