Chand Baouri

Nope. That’s not a charcoal study by MC Escher. That’s a photograph. Eyeball it for a bit – story and more photos below the break.

Chand Baori is a feat of ancient engineering and architecture. According to local legend, ghosts were responsible for its construction. [Found here.]

Chand Baori is a famous stepwell situated in the village of Abhaneri near Jaipur in the Indian state of Rajasthan.

This step well is located opposite Harshat Mata Temple, constructed in 800 B.C. and is one of the deepest and largest step wells in India. It was built in the 9th century and has 3500 narrow steps in 13 stories and is 100 feet deep.
