That's one amazing image. It reminds me of those 'impossible staircases'.

Isn't it!
I thought it was a photograph of an Escher at first glance. Great POV too.

'But above all, he should be taught to yield to the truth, and to lay down his arms as soon as he discovers it, whether it appears in his opponents argument, or to himself in his own thoughts.' - Michel de Montaigne (on the education of children)
'Everybody is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled. But some people’s idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.' - Winston Churchill

First time I have seen it done with a fisheye, but the Escher like stairs is a view of the Natural History museum I have seen done a few times, often captioned 'Hogworts'.
I'd love to know what settings he used to convert to black and white. At first glance it seems impossible to have any half tones but the whole gradation is there.

"I process my row data in my own way using Photoshop and Nik plug in to produce my black and white photography.
Recently, I downloaded "Silver Efex Pro" 15-day free trial and using it to find out if I can produce black and white photography quicker than my current way of doing it."
Given the NHM image predates the explanation, it would appear just photoshop + a Nik plugin (other than Silver Efex presumably) was used.
Many of his images do have that compressed dynamic range HDR look. The Nik stuff looks pretty comprehensive - Silver Efex was reviewed in the 3rd March issue of AP btw. There is a 15 day trial version.
Everything I've seen suggests Silver Efex Pro is a must-have. Only the price acts as deterrent for now.
