  The first photo on [this page shows the model Andrew Lipson](http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/ascending.html) made.
  
  The photo is taken under a such angle in respect that the different parts line up in the photo, to get the desired effect.
  
  ["Waterfall"](http://www.andrewlipson.com/escher/waterfall.html) used a combination of specifically angled photographs, coupled with some post processing to remove the overlapping elements:
