[ODFPlugtest] barcelona, alhambra escher

[Louis Suarez-Potts]

Probably a lot more, even, could be drawn from the 3 dimensionality (and four, if time is included in its doing, as Escher hints, with walking people, suggesting the directionality of time) and never-ending symmetry and expansiveness….

thanks
Louis

BTW the plugfest was really a success, I think.
