As I was drove around the outskirts of Reading this morning I noticed this sculpture in the grounds of a business park and decided to take a look. It reminds me of Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man drawing and I thought it looked quite dramatic silhouetted against the threatening, cloudy sky.

Great shot. I love the sky. Looks so foreboding. ????? · 2010-03-28: 15:59

And, as we all know, Leonardo was a push-over for making snow angels... Great capture of foreground and dramatic sky. revenant · 2010-03-28: 16:09

De clouds are wondeful dramatic in the background of the metal artwork. Ryana · 2010-03-29: 12:02

This was an early design for the wheel. It didn't catch on though, because people didn't like getting the fingers crushed. Very dramatic shot! Jarvo · 2010-03-29: 18:46

Great catch! I like the shot a lot and the framing is wonderful. My only critic would be wishing the sky was a little brighter (more contrasting) matteahmb · 2010-03-30: 11:36
