What a mind!!

500 years ago Leonardo envisioned people hanging from sails and flying! This is for the "Own Choice" week in the 52 week challenge. We have to nominate our choice - mine was for composites with a slightly surreal feel. P.S. the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a NSW Parks photo.

Watching TV documentary about Leonardo, and this is on now!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond What a co-incidence! He's fascinating!!

[Taffy]

What a vision he had...and a lovely shot.

[Suzanne]

He certainly was way before his time. Love your edit here

[Ann H. LeFevre]

He really was quite amazing in so many ways. And this is a fun composite depicting one of his many innovative ideas. Well done!

[Marnie]

Sorry Rob, somehow you dropped off my follow list, quite unintentional. Back again now, eventually realised I hadn't seen any of your posts for ages. 😢

[Marnie]

Great idea and well executed.

[Rob Z]

@golftragic No worries Marni - it's lovely to hear from you again - I always appreciate your comments!. This one was a bit of fun - imagining his parachute man in today's world! :)

[Marnie]

@robz I like fun shots, and this one was fun.

[Casablanca]

He really was amazing! This is great fun. You clearly enjoyed this exhibition.

[Anja]

Beautiful composite with matching tones

[Dione Giorgio]

Well done - very creative image.

[Rob Z]

@taffy Hi Taffy - to see his drawings made up into moving models was just fantastic! :)

[Rob Z]

@suzanne234 Thanks Suzanne - it was good fun to put his ideas into the modern world. They just were so before their time. :)

[Rob Z]

@olivetreeann Thanks so much Anne- his machine were just amazing. This one just looked like it should be in today's world. :)

[Rob Z]

@casablanca Hi Casablnaca - we had such a good time wandering around this exhibit - and the models were very photogenic!! :)

[Rob Z]

@stiggle Thanks for your kind comment Anja - I must admit that I was pretty happy with the way this one turned out. A lot just meet the delete button.. LOL :)

[Rob Z]

@sangwann Thank you so much Dione. I do appreciate your kind feedback. :)

[Caterina]

I didn't know this machine. Thank you for sharing. Very nice way of presenting it! So Leonardo wanted to kite surf?

[Rob Z]

@caterina Hi Caterina - I don't know if he wanted to kite surf - or just fly from a height with the aid of his contraption! It was like a very simple parachute.

[FBailey]

You have such a terrific imagination - hats off!

[Rob Z]

@fbailey Thanks so much FB - they are such fun to make - very addictive! :)

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous , like it

[Rob Z]

@bizziebeeme Thanks again - these are such fun to make! :)

[☠northy]

i really like this... surreal indeed!

[Rob Z]

@northy Thanks so much Northy - you made my day when you labelled it surreal - I only have a list of ideas to go by - and the impressions from images I've googled. Many of them were a bit too weird for my taste but I'm so pleased you liked this!! :)
