One of my favorite places in Bavaria...so much to see and do in this area..almost magical.This was not the view I was hoping to capture from above but the bridge was closed for renovations and SOOOO many people...next time early LOL. I did not go inside this time as last when I visited this incredible structure with my father and camera in tow 30 years ago...a whirlwind trip of castles and Bavaria in one day!!! Please allow at least a week or two if possible and then you still wont have seen all the beauty this pristine landscape has to offer!!.
What did impress me when I was inside on the last trip was not the glamor and detail of the interior but the view that I saw as I looked out of the window and saw the lake with swans gliding gently through the waters and the boyhood home of King Ludwig called Howenschwangau.....the previous image I posted. The guide informed us that my very favorite artist of all time Leonardo daVinci 's plan of central heating and air was implemented in this structure...what incredible vision for all who had anything to do with the design..!!!
Walt Disney actually modeled his castle after this..if you look really closely you will find two para-sailers ...far braver souls than I would be in this rugged terrain...

While I shot this scene at night, my stars did not turn out as well as this. We'll try again in a couple weeks.
The beautiful ancient forest of Puzzlewood, England. A private woodland of gnarly old trees and dark paths. This site has been used as a film location for Dr Who, Merlin, Davinci's Demons, Jack the Giant Slayer and Atlantis.
JRR Tolkien is believed to have visited the forest several times, possibly basing Fanghorn Forest on what he had seen here.

Duke of Milan Francesco I Sforza ordered the construction of a Dominican convent and church at the site of a prior chapel dedicated to the Marian devotion of St Mary of the Graces. The main architect, Guiniforte Solari, designed the convent, which was completed by 1469. Construction of the church took decades. Duke Ludovico Sforza decided to have the church serve as the Sforza family burial site, and rebuilt the cloister and the apse, both completed after 1490.
The refectory of the church houses Leonardo DaVinci's masterpiece, The Last Supper. DaVinci worked off and on between 1495 and 1498 to complete the painting. During WWII, the refectory was bombed by Allied forces but the wall with the painting survived.

Let me be the first to say...I don't know what I'm doing here! This is not my usual "Victorian" doll I made, but it's different, it's BIG and I'm taking a risk which is what I strive to do.
The idea is this (Renaissance age) peasant boy is testing out Leonardo DaVinci's flying machine or a failed version of it. He looks stricken well, because he doesn't hold much chance of surviving this first flight.
He was SUPPOSE to be an altar boy....sigh.

The latest Huntsman film has scenes set here and probably the biggest so far is a segment from the new Star Wars saga - The Force Awakens.
Puzzlewood doubles as the planet Takodana, home to Maz Kanata and features an important scene between Rey and Kylo Ren.
The forest has also featured in Jack the Giant Slayer, Merlin, Atlantis, Dr Who & Davinci's Demons.

Here's the closed exterior shot of my Lego Ideas project. The model features the same concept as legendary Lego sets in the past like Medieval Market Village (Set 10193) and the Blacksmith Shop (3739) which incorporate a "dollhouse" structure giving the models great playability and display value. And Leonardo Davinci's Workshop is no exception.
In the first two days, I'm already up to 171 supporters on LEGO Ideas! But I still have a long way to go to garner enough clicks of support for this to be a lego set! Here's where you can help:

I asked about the tee and found out that the image is from a painting by the artist.

In the second half of the Davinci's Workshop interior, there is, most notably, Davinci's famous tank, a circular wooden structure armed with many cannons. Along with the tank, there are several other details, Davinci's desk, a few extra paints on the shelves, his mysterious crossbow, and many other items.

Hey there Flickrarians,
Without further delay I present the next piece from "The Almost People" series.
As I was saying, we were shooting on a half-ruined staircase in the middle of a park. At one point we decided to jump off the staircase and shoot under it. It was so disgusting, with gooey stuff dripping from the top and a lot of trash on the ground, but I believe it was worth it.
This is me toying with the concept of Leonardo DaVinci's Vitruvian man, which symbolizes the almost geometric perfection of precise divine creation. The Almost Vitruvian Man was a test model, whose blueprint was never used because the creator went for a more ergonomic model of the actual Vitruvian Homo Sapiens.
Model - Albert

This sculpture is one of 3 created by equestrian, and horse specialist, Nina Akamu. There is one on display about 12” tall that explains and describes Leonardo Davinci’s original sketches and design. Then there is the nearby 8 foot model created as an homage to Davinci and finally this 24 foot colossus entitled The American Horse. This installation is on display at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA. Leonardo originally conceived of a large horse “visible from afar, gleaming in the sun”. Leonardo intended his horse to be as tall as a two story building; was to be the world’s largest bronze horse, a symbol of power for the Duke of Milan. French troops destroyed Leonardo’s full scale clay model when they invaded Milan in 1499. That was the end of Davinci’s horse project.
This view of my Lego Ideas Davinci's Workshop is open for the purpose of extra visibilty when the creation is closed. But when it is opened, it gives the appearance of an open concept so that the room feels connected and cohesive.

On the Mt Olympus of automotive gods, no names are more revered than those of Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz.
On January 29, 1886 Benz submitted a Patent application for his “vehicle with gas operation” to the Imperial Patent Office giving it what the company today, calls the birth certificate of the first automobile and the name Benz Patent Motorwagen.
Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach developed their one cylinder, “Grandfather Clock” engine in 1884. They install it in the 1885 Daimler Reitwagen or Riding Car. On August 28, 1885 Daimler is awarded the Patent for “vehicle with gas or petroleum drive machine”. We would say, the world’s first motorcycle.
It looks more like something from Leonardo DaVinci’s workshop in the 15th or 16th century than a product of the industrial revolution of the 19th century.
Just a few months after Benz patents his Motorwagen, Daimler installs a 1.1 hp version of his grandfather clock engine into a 4 seat coach to create the first gas powered car with four wheels to reach 10 MPH.
It is not until 1926 that the two companies merge to form Daimler-Benz AG. It is also in 1926 that the 3 pointed star emblem first appears.
Both models are 1/8 scale and made by Franklin Mint.

Now, we suspect there are a few of you saying, “Wait one minute there. What are you guys trying to pull? Isn’t this the same script from a couple of weeks ago?”
Not quite, this photo is in color so you can appreciate more of the wonderful details these models have to offer. You may notice, there is no foreground tree shadow either, making your viewing just a little easier as well.
We also saved one juicy factoid for this post. Did you notice? Did you know? The Benz Patent Motorwagen was also the first car with rack and pinion steering. Look closely and you can see the toothed rack attached to the front wheel. The steering pillar has a pinion gear at the base, completing the connection between the steering lever and wheel.
The golden ratio, phi, can be found by dividing the length of segment AD by the length of segment ED. This ratio is found everywhere in the rectangle above. Phi can also be found by solving (x+1)/x =x, for x. We call this solution phi. Phi is another one of those really famous numbers, kind of like pi.
Notice the radius of the circle changes with each edge of the rectangle. I think even the ratios of the radii gives the golden ratio.
A rectangle with edges in proportion to 1:1.61 is said to be the most beautiful. This ratio is found everywhere in art...especially DaVinci's art.
The Ovaltine Cafe opened at 251 East Hastings in 1942. The cafe has survived intact with coffee counter, booths, mirrors and varnished woodwork. It was often seen during scenes on CBC-TV’s hit series DaVinci’s Inquest.
(From the History of Metropolitan Vancouver)
The building (the Afton Hotel) was erected in 1926.
Leonardo’s horse was never completed. American artist Nina Akamu who is an accomplished sculptor in her own right, used Leonardo’s studies and sketches to create three bronze horses one of which is this 24 foot colossus. This piece is located at Fredrik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
Chiesa Santa Maria Degli Angioli (Church of Saint Mary of the Angels) from Lugano is a wonderful Renaissance church of Romanesque style.
The church was painted in 1529 by Bernardino Luini (c. 1480/82 –1532), a North Italian painter from Leonardo's circle.
Here is huge fresco painted by Luini on the wall that is separating the two parts of the church (which is - according to the website of Lugano Tourism- the most famous one in Switzerland) ; but more fascinating, on the side south side wall of the Chiesa Santa Maria Degli Angioli is Luini's version of the „Last Supper”’.
This one is divided into three panels because it had originally been on a wall of the monastery rectory with support pillars, moved to where it is now seen when the monastery.
Luini’s version of this event is so like Leonardo DaVinci’s more famous one in Milan that it was once attributed to him, according to „TravelEurope” site. There is little historical connection between the two artists but it is thought that Luini was a disciple of the master or at least greatly influenced in his later work by him.
Luini’s "Last Supper" may have been an homage, a coded response or even a parody. Luini painted himself as Judas Iscariot holding a bag on coins and his own favorite pet cat at his feet.
A close look at the figure of the Apostle John, at the right hand of Christ will bring sharply to mind Dan Brown's “The DaVinci Code” whose entire plot is based on the idea that DaVinci had symbolically painted Mary Magdalene into his last supper in the guise of the John the Apostle.
Luini’s John is also feminine in the extreme, so like Luini’s other female subjects, painted with eyes nearly closed, as if in supplicant devotion, but Luini’s John the Apostle, rather than facing away in DaVinci’s now infamous “M”, is leaning tenderly on Jesus.
