Mysterious Monday - Whose Hand?

Fabric on Display, The Borgo, Rome, Italy  © Doug Hickok


Reaching out from behind a fold of fabric, a hand seeks the light. Whose hand, you may ask, is this? The question looms over us for today's spin on... mysterious Monday.

    I like the textures in this photo. I'm not such an art specialist to venture with a guess.

    Superb textures and colour. I dunno but it looks a lot like Michalangelo then again I can imagine one or two others...

    Very beautiful image and superb framing. That may be a work of Leonardo da Vinci !!!!! Good day.

    The hand of God from a painting displaying the birth of Adam (was it Michelangelo?)
    Nice colours Doug!

    That's a truly mysterious picture :-)
    To see Monday as a mysterious day seems like a good idea - to me, it is the least favourite day of the week because it means getting back to work...

    Very striking, Doug. Yes, something to do with Michelangelo or da Vinci, on a ceiling, I think, but can't place it exactly.
