THE VIRGIN AND CHILD WITH ST. ANNE AND THE YOUNG ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST NOTE: To avoid confusion with "Virgin of the Rocks", I've used the title: ST. ANNE... for my photo album. None of the images have been altered other than by means of basic lighting, contrasting, cropped, etc., I've used a white out or black out effect to draw viewers attention to some specific images. (BY LJ.)

FOURTH: #4 THE LAST SUPPER Negative, reverse image, upside down, all color removed and lighting enhanced BY LJ. It looks as though you're on the outside of the windows that appear behind "The Last Supper", in a courtyard with a well to the left... Give it time, walk away from your computer, view it from a distance...you'll see it. And this is only the beginning...

VITRUVIAN MAN: LEONARDO DA VINCI Is it so hard to visualize the spread legs forming the shape of a compass and that both sets of feet are drawn to form a right angle, yet it almost seems too simple to suggest this was intentionally done by LEONARDO to represent the MASONIC symbol of the compass and square... Then again I find it extremely interesting to speculate if indeed it was done intentionally!

"VIRGIN OF THE ROCKS" Louvre-Paris Negative, reversed image turned upside down, color and lighting enhanced by LJ. Scary face?
