This time the Crystal Palace dome was used to present an exhibition dedicated to Leonardo Da Vinci machines. They had about one hundred machines built by italian craftsmen following the Da Vinci's drawings. Was forbidden make shots on the exhibition but I couldn't resiste and risk doing some pictures, so I have to await till noboby was looking and shot quickly without flash.

That's called "stealth shooting" and I do it all the time. Good shot of a highly unusual subject.

I'm glad you didn't get caught! This is fascinating, Manuel, Leonardo was so before his time... if he had been born in this century who knows what he could have accomplished?

My dear friends! I hope you forgive me for not commenting and answering that much recently. Thats because of the weather situation here, that takes all my energy. I promise to do better as soon as there will be more sun again. Smile
