bridget riley's eyesight

By gail

This building is part of the Town Hall and the Library in our leafy London borough. It was cunnigly disguised during the war to look like a tree - can you tell? If I were a german pilot I would certainly have thought - Hey, look at that lovely tree that really doesn't look anything like a huge red-brick Victorian building! The adjoining Town Hall complete with columns and associated grandeur also posesses a fetching fading camouflage right across the front.

Having said this it obviously worked as both are still standing, completely undamaged.
