Historic Galata Bridge and New Mosque before the sun rises in ramadan. Ramazan ayında güneş doğmadan önce tarihi Galata Köprüsü ve Yeni Cami'nin görüntüsü. Eminönü, Fatih District, Istanbul Province, TURKEI. The Galata is a bridge that spans the Golden Horn in Istanbul City. From the end of the 19th century in particular, the bridge has featured in Turkish literature, theater, poetry and novels. In 1453, during the Conquest of Şehr-i İstanbul, the Turks assembled a mobile bridge by placing their ships side by side across the water, so that their troops could move from one side of the Golden Horn (Haliç) to the other.
Golden Horn Bridge designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1502. In the years 1502–1503, there were plans to construct the first bridge at the current location. Sultan Beyazıt II solicited a design and Leonardo da Vinci, utilizing three well-known geometrical principles, the pressed-bow, parabolic curve and keystone arch, created an unprecedented single span 240 m long and 24 m wide bridge for the Golden Horn, which would have become the longest bridge in the world of that time, had it been constructed. However, the ambitious design was not approved by the Ottoman Sultan.... This photo is for One1stanbul Photo Album - Candidate Photographs

Like a song unwinds this life
safe and senseless yet luxuriant
through deserts of words
between agitated dreams
and sudden awakenings
At night she lives in clusters of notes
very pure terminal unconsciousness
beautiful wave and melancholy refrain
rejects the wisdom that is vulgar
In the soft riverbed of dreams laid down
to caress goodbyes never realized
wandering moths in rural cemeteries
in search of a lost vague love

Venezianersägen sind aus Holz gebaute Brettersägen mit einem einzelnen senkrecht schneidenden Sägeblatt.
Leonardo da Vinci erfand sie im 16. Jahrhundert gemeinsam mit venezianischen Holzhändlern. Vorher mussten die Menschen ihre Holzbretter mit Muskelkraft schneiden.
Ein eigener "Wasserradsprudler" treibt die Säge an. Sie sind im ganzen Alpenraum anzutreffen.

Historic sailing boat of the Floating Maritime Museum. This museum is situated in the innermost part of the town's canal port, which "was built in 1314 because of the urgent need of the town of Cesena to create an outlet for its own trade. In 1502 Cesare Borgia (il Valentino) conquered the town and called Leonardo Da Vinci in the hope of finding a solution to the problem of sand bars silting up the harbour entrance." visitcesenatico.it/pointofinterests/porto-canale-leonarde... It seems the canal port's reconstruction surveyed and drawn by Leonardo has been very effective since then because of its form. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesenatico
"Cesenatico [...] is a port town with about 26,000 inhabitants on the Adriatic coast of Italy. It is located in the province of Forlì-Cesena in the region of Emilia-Romagna, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Ravenna." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesenatico

… gab es am 01.08.2020 in Wolf am Brenner, als ich an einem besagten Tag vom Urlaub am Achensee zum Brenner fuhr und nichts ahnend die Fuhre vor die Linse bekam. Das Tandem führte die 1216 019 „Leonardo Da Vinci“ an. An zweiter Stelle ist die zur Landschaft passende Lok 1116 159 „150 Jahre Brennerbahn“, welche sich noch vor der 1016 023 „Green Point“ reihte. Zusammen beförderten sie den morgendlichen Schrottzug, bestehend aus E-Wagen“ die Nordrampe des Brenners hoch nach Brennero/Brenner, um den Zug der Italienischen Staatsbahn zu übergeben. Alle drei Beklebungen sind mittlerweile Geschichte.
Although this is the earliest known commissioned painting by Leonardo, it has been pointed out that the painting already bears characteristics that are described as demonstrating his signature work, the innovations he introduced in his paintings: sfumato and atmospheric perspective.
Bronze sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi, 1989. Outside the Design Museum, Holland Park, London.
Based on the head of James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, with words by Leonardo da Vinci from a quote: "Though human genius in its various inventions with various instruments may answer the same end, it will never find an invention more beautiful or more simple or direct than nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous".

LIVINGS
How many fingers do you have brother?
Maybe you don't have any hands
two eyes a nose a mouth
a color a different shape
an anxious beating heart.
You follow me with your ten children
squawking on the lawn for food
I heard you buzzing around
shouting high in the sky
blathering in the deserts.
Life is equal to itself
with the only mission to live
whatever it is wherever it is
as old as the stars
regardless of good and evil.

His machines soared in the skies
crossed the ocean depths
did the work for men
He looked into each person's body and mind
and tried to know of death
He admired the beauty of the forms
in still nature as in livings
He dreamed of a distant future
which has become our present
Perhaps he dared to go even further
but unfathomable silences is an existence
The end caught him wide-eyed in the sky
for an impossible answer
And we will never know

Chambord, both Renaissance and Medieval inspiration
The château of Chambord is one of the most unique constructions left to us by the Renaissance. Its architecture is a carefully balanced blend of traditional elements of Medieval French architecture and other elements borrowed from the Italian Renaissance. The massive keep, enclosed by four towers with their corbelled walkway and the rampart path are so similar to medieval fortresses. Similarly, the walls, moats and gothic look of the rooftop constructions. But the central placement of the keep, the position of the double helix staircase, the geometric lightness of the facades and their decoration, the symmetry of the buildings, how openings are included to provide a flow through the building and the presence of vaulted ceilings on the second storey are the many innovative parts of the chateau that make the monument unique.
With its dual inspiration, the château was the perfect instrument to sing the praises of the king and the perfect reflection of the personality of the man who had it built – a knightly king, heir to French traditions but at the same time a modern man who was fascinated by culture and the arts, inspired by the greatest artists of his time.
The mystery of the architect and the shadow of Leonardo da Vinci
The château of Chambord is an exceptional architectural creation that draws its inspiration from the French tradition as much as from the new ideas of the Italian Renaissance. The genius behind the project remains a mystery. Some art historians attribute it to an Italian while others maintain that it is a purely French creation and still others say it is a collaboration between artists from the two lands. At the beginning of the 20th century, the name of Leonardo da Vinci was first put forward. While the multi-talented genius may have had a hand in the initial design of the keep, his death in 1519 means he could not have directed any of the construction. However, the central placement of the keep, the presence of the double helix staircase, latrines with a double tank system and air vents or the water-tightness of the terraces are many hints that mean he could have been the inspiration behind François I’s masterpiece.

This room is just one that contributes of the entire "sculpture." Cherryhurst House where Havel Ruck (Dan Havel and Dean Ruck) have worked collaboratively to create “Ripples” inspired by a series of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci about the power of nature and his concept of the movement of water. The artists have treated the walls, ceilings and floors of this house as layers to be excavated. Sections of the raised floor can be seen in this photo.

Woman's Head-Leonardo da Vinci drawing (reproduction) on a card.
◾Leonardo da Vinci created this delightful drawing in the year 1473, in the very beginning of his career as an artist. It portrays a woman’s head leaning to the left side, and it was produced in ink on paper. As it’s the case of most of the ink-on-paper drawings, this piece rarely comes to public exhibition, for the vulnerability of its media. It is currently part of the amazing collection of Uffizi gallery, in Florence. ◾
