cleVERRRR! and truly magical.And the pathway pattern and materials- are so handsome.(I could imagine a Cal. designer doing an installation with a brick path painted bright yellow...!)I would really like to know what specific material was used for the mirror, as we have been wanting to install a large mirror here at the 'retum. I also wonder if it is removed for the winter season.Something i need to research, but if anyone has suggestions, plse tell!thanks much,

In my former house I had a full size mirror mounted on the fence that looked like a doorway through to another garden. Very successful illusion. Regular glass mirror, nothing special.
This mirror illusion is very classy!
I've had problems finding outdoor mirrors. Anyone have luck with that?
Wow! That is interesting.
An everyday job though, I would think, keeping it clean enough to maintain the illusion.
