    Anybody remember this poster? It could have been by Roger Dean (the man behind many of the YES rock band posters - see below. It's a long time ago but I seem to remember that the water was in aqueducts (?) but through optical illusion seemed to be flowing uphill. I've tried Google and Bing but I'm probably not using the correct search terms. Any links, clues etc. welcome and thanks in advance.

    I really like this one, since its a photo its not immediately obvious that it could be an illusion

    When I saw it first I just thought it was from the same set of photos as this famous one.

    No, it was a full colour poster, in the same surreal style as the Yes posters/album covers.

    The only other surreal optical illusions are Dali paintings but I can't find anything like you describe.
    But it did get me looking at some fantastic images by the man. Thanks for reminding me what a great painter he was.

    Maybe it's a Roger Dean print, then?
