Michal, very cool, although the orange cone is a bit of a distraction for me. Thanks for showing us. John

I'd like to see this in person. Incorporating another object, rather than relying on just the bricks, works well. Part of me wishes it were something more 'exotic', but on the other hand, the ordinary traffic cone gives a nice contrasting sense of reality. I think the contrast could be boosted to enhance the 3D effect.
Just a question - a little to the left of the middle of the photo, there is something that looks like a leaf with a shadow below it. Is this part of the workmanship or just something lying there? I ask, because it appears to be floating.
