I don’t know. Maybe it was the arches. Or the shadows cast by the late afternoon sun. Perhaps it was the geometry of it all that fascinated me. I’m not an artist, by any stretch. Especially not a graphic artist. But as I stood there, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the mathematical trickery of MC Escher’s Ascending and Descending.
Or the visual impossibly of his never ending Waterfall.
I returned the next day with easel, a canvas, and charcoal and I sketched what I saw.
Not too shabby, I thought, for someone who’s not an artist, not even a graphic artist, and certainly not an MC Escher.

This, That, and The Other 
Love your sketch — you captured it wonderfully and artistically.
BTW, I am a huge Escher fan.

Looks like 100% commenters found your “hidden talent”. The most redeeming feature was their love of Escher 🙂
