Outdoor Wednesday...Leonardo da Vinci


On Sunday we took a tour at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to see some of the works of Leonardo da Vinci which is on exhibit until Feb. 21st.

The Sforza horse was commissioned for this special exhibit at the High Museum. If you click on the photo you will see me in my pink hat and scarf standing next to this 26 foot massive statue. Ah, I look so teeny tiny next to this magnificent animal.

If you would like to see read & see more information about the Sforza horse please go HERE.

    That's one huge horse. You look like a little ant in a pink hat next to it. The statue is amazing!

    Have a terrific day!

    That is one giant horse Joyce! I'd love to see this exhibit -- I will have to check to see if it is coming to NYC.

    Sue's comment above made me laugh!
