The movie Man of La Mancha movie was also a very successful Broadway play. It was inspired by Miguel de Cervantes and his 17th-century novel Don Quixote.

My favorite song from the musical is The Impossible Dream.

This is my entry for SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES. The photo was taken in a little Missouri town (Plevna). The artist had created this entirely out of discarded metal. It is now gone and I never had the opportunity to meet the artist. I guess he made his Impossible Dream come true. I did a bit of a manipulation with the Fractalius software program.

OMG Tick, this is wonderful. I bet there isn't a windmill in the area sleeping well knowing Don Quixote and his man-servant, Sancho, are in the neighborhood and ready to give fight. The fractalius adds to viewing pleasure.

I agree with John - this is wonderful Tick and is a perfect representation of Don Quixote and his noble steed.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), think that Sancho Panza has a day off in beating the windmills, 😁 .
Perfect visualization (inclusive your editing) of the well known SNATM theme!

Perfect capture and post work Tick. You just had a perfect opportunity and captured Don Quixote and his mighty stead before they got away.
