Escher-ish play place 2018-06-18 - Columbus, IN - Photo by Pen. At first glance, the way the eyes are drawn upward, it looked like an M.C. Escher "Relativity" work of art. However, on second glance we noticed all the people in the photo were real and way in the top left of the climbing structure were our six and seven-year-old granddaughters, Hailey and Tillie! So happy to report they made it safely back to ground level in The Commons Indoor Playground in Columbus, IN. The playground is free and open to the public. - Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
