AFAIK… It’s a rendering of ancient Constantinople on top, showing the artist’s conception of the Hippodrome, contrasted with modern Istanbul, on the bottom.
Both Happy ³ and Susan are correct (so was I / like Happy ³ though, I think it should be “Find the hidden cardinal” / I didn’t see your yellow bird, Susan).
Back in the mid eighties, I was assisting at a model railway exhibition and I saw a guy with a Sony camcorder on his shoulder, the ‘portable’ Betamax recorder on one hip, and the battery pack on his other hip. They were state-of-the-art back in the day, and cost a small fortune. I’m fairly certain the set up was worth a lot more than the car I was driving at the time!
In the late ’80s, I paid $1000 for a VCR/docking station which allowed the VCR to detach from the base and be carried in a back-pack with a light weight camera wired to it. The camera was another $500 and could only be used in very bright lighting. I’ve purchased other VCRs since then, but they didn’t last long. That first one, is the only one we still have working.

Now that’s a Sean Connery movie I haven’t heard of in a real long time. Great movie!
Apparently by Czech artist Filip Hodas…
They called it a “3D rendering” rather than a painting, so a computer may be involved, but the vision is his.
A depiction of a Disnopian future.
NOSE!

Ancient Rome
Um… I don’t think it’s Rome…
AFAIK… It’s a rendering of ancient Constantinople on top, showing the artist’s conception of the Hippodrome, contrasted with modern Istanbul, on the bottom.
You may be right. Rome is not a port city.
Oh, it’s definitely Constantinople, now called Istanbul.
I recognised the Hippodrome, and I’ve looked it up since then.

Rockin’
I think i found a bird, but i think that its a cardinal.
I’m pretty sure I found a red bird, which may be the one Happy ³ found as well.
It’s vaguely drawn in two shades of red, not brown with a red breast.
The resolution isn’t good enough to be absolutely sure it’s a bird…
But I’m guessing it’s the one we’re looking for.
The probable “robin” is in a yellow circle.
The white arrow points to the yellow bird, which is more definitely not a robin.
I also found a yellow bird (I think) that’s drawn quite differently.

And it’s more niggly bits today….
Nope. My eyes can’t make any birds.
i agree!
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!
Works for me.

Fairly prescient. A few changes that they couldn’t have foreseen, but not bad.
