My maternal grandfather and me
It is super icy out so I didn't want to go far and remembered this bridge that wasn't too far away from where I live. I took a few shots of the bridge but they were a bit uninspiring so took a few like this, and vice versa with the iPhone through the camera. Anyhoo, this is for 'Leading Lines'!

Ed was a professional skate boarder who always had his camera with him! Reflection of museum visitor !

My wife had a Jaburg & Wilk Law Firm Equity Partners' dinner at Olive & Ivy Restaurant. I grabbed dinner at Pita Jungle in the Food Court then walked around. This is a photo of the photo mural by the Bar. I was just goofing off as I waited for her to finish. I loved the European feel of this mural. I would guess it is about 7' high and 5' wide. I have no idea what's behind this door. I think it's a storage closet. But any photo that get's blown up to a full size wall mural has got to have some redeeming qualities. :0

The artist is sitting right there in the middle foreground, between the two wardens. Her name is Nonja (pronounced "Nonya") and she was born in Vienna's Schönbrunn Zoo in 1976. Raised as an orphan, she developed a special relationship to humans, and at some point in her life became interested in painting. She was provided with art materials and produced an astonishing series of pictures, many of which were auctioned off to raise money for the extension of the Orang-u-tang quarters. After her intensive artistic career she suddenly lost interest in painting and was provided with a digital camera to take pictures of her visitors (seriously!) However this phase (and the camera) soon came to an end. Nonja was very communicative, not to say manipulative, and loved to persuade ladies (and others) to show her the contents of their bags. Of course she was on the lookout for titbits, and would demonstrate how they should be thrown high over the railing of the enclosure. A special trick of hers was to sit at a particular window, and to persuade visitors to pour fruit-juice and Coca-Cola through a fine leak in the window-sill. Sadly Nonja died in 2018. May she rest in peace!
Standing behind Nonja and smiling proudly is Helmut Pechlarner, who initiated the wonderful transformation of Vienna's Zoo in the 1990's.
Please excuse the quality of the picture. It's a photo of a reproduction (no doubt copyright Tiergarten Schönbrunn) at the entrance to the former Orang enclosure. (I've processed it a little in the camera with colour extraction.)

For most of ballet dance history, pink tutus and white pointe shoes were the norm. Before the availability of manufactured brown pointe shoes, black dancers who wanted to match their pointe shoes to their skin tones were obliged to take matters into their own hands. The practice was to paint or "pancake" the shoes with makeup or dyes, a process that was time consuming and expensive, especially since a dancer could go through 2 or 3 pairs of shoes a week. As a black ballerina and in this image, "finding home" appears to have a double meaning.
