Leonardo Vorbild Natur

Dear Friends
last Sathurday I visited the announced exhibition: Leonardo da Vinci - Vorbild Natur - Zeichnungen und Modelle at the Deutsches Museum here in Munich:
http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en
In my opinion, the exhibition has many merits:
- it presents reproductions of Leonardo's technical drawings and clarifies that they should not be regarded as definitive projects but rather as intuitions of problem solutions although some device derived from said drawings is shown;
- it permits to collocate Leonardo in the Renaissance in relation with other brilliant minds as Brunelleschi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filippo_Brunelleschi), MIchelangelo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo), Raffaello (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael), Dürer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albrecht_D%C3%BCrer), Copernicus
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus), Galilei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_Galilei) and the political and social events of the that period;
- it gives hints about the complicate personality of Leonardo in which co-existed talents of artist and engineer and set out that the presumed homosexuality of Leonardo has not been proved.
The images that follows provide you with an idea about Leonardo as suggested by the exhibition.

Iberisi

Dear Friends
I have to thank our Etienne for the suggestion to attend last Thursday the Benefiz-Abend für Nino at the Technikum of the Kultfabrik here in Munich. That evening was the occasion not only for collect money for the helping Nino, but also to taste aspects of the Georgian soul and culture evoked by the skilful mix of religious and traditional-popular songs by the Iberisi Chor: https://www.facebook.com/iberisichor
as well as impressive, evocative images of Georgia :

I hope that the following images will communicate you the impression of Georgia we had that evening. Any comment from your side is welcomed.
