May 18, 2010 - Mobius Strip


The Seattle skyline as viewed through the sculpture "Oushi Zokei Madoka". The sculpture was a gift from the city of Kobe, Japan, commemorating 25 years as Seattle's sister port and is located at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center on the waterfront. The artist, Keizo Ushio, has introduced Mobius Strips to the world on a grand scale using his stone sculptures.
Wikipedia tells one that Mobius Strip "model can easily be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip together to form a loop."

  1. Interesting. Great sister port, Kobe, giving such awesome gifts. And what a unique way you have of showing off Seattle.
