Wanna see a masterpiece up close
I’m not sure if I told you all, but I’ve been on my holidays for 2 weeks and I’ve been having a blast! I’m really doing anything and I recommend it to everyone!
One of my side interests is about the history of religion. I like to understand what the hell happened a long, long, long time ago and why is everyone so pissed off at each other? I wasn’t around way back in 75 A.D., and I’m sure I would of just tried to get everybody to sit down and have a drink and mule over the things that are making everyone mad! It’s not that hard now is it?
Anyways, I’ve just about finished this book called “The Secret History of Christianity” by Malcolm Brocklehurst. It’s basically it’s about how the church has exploited the Myth of Christ, or so that is the idea that the author is trying to convey. It kinda ties things together and fills in the holes about the bible itself and gives over views of the ancient meaning behind things that are in the bible.
Anyways, while reading the book, I came across this website that is about the Last Supper” from you know who, Leonardo buddy. The author talks about some of the hidden meanings behind some aspect of the wall painting and by using this site you can zoom into the painting like you’ve never thought possible and see for yourself. Boy, he wasn’t kidding! So I’ve been checking it out for the past … dare I say hours!
The company is called haltadefinizione and they honestly out did themselves with their super interactive HD pics on their site. If your an art lover and love to look at the finer details of master pieces that you can only get by going there and looking really close … then you may never go and see this wondrous creations in person after your significant other literally pulls your head from monitor! That’s what just happened to me!
I realize this is not what my blog is about, but the pics on this site is just out of this world. Check it out THOROUGHLY!! It’s time not well wasted!
Keep on Jammin’

That is pretty cool. I spent a good long while exploring that site and painting. It is amazing at how they could get the detail in there. Thank you for sharing.

It certainly is cool Night Clubs Boston! I was there for literately hours going over every little detail. Some of the little odds things that you could see in the pic’s were air vents or pulley like devices … that is what I found neat. Having such beautify pieces of art with these oddities just boggles the mind.
Thanx for coming on by!

That’s what I said, and a whole lot more, when I saw this site too Hari!
The HD digital world is just going crazy with all these new uses for it. I also hear that they are going to digitalize the Dead Sea Scrolls in about 5 years! Just imagine what technology will be like in around 10 or so years from now. Just amazing Hari!
