      Das sieht auch live wie gemalt aus, wenn man da drauf zuläuft.

   Poor man’s Rue de Rivoli?

   Two nice trompe l’oeils from other European capitals – one from Germany’s poor but oh so sexy would-be metropolis:

   and one from Brussels (which did fool me, in fact, last year despite its drab surroundings …)

      Fab links again, many thanks! However, Plumtree Court is not a trompe l’oeil, it’s real – more or less. In fact there was at least another one on the other side of the building; you can walk through it, but it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. But yes, definitely a case of Poor man’s Rue de Rivoli.:-)

      On the other hand, hat tip to the architect, this is a great play with perspective.
