The dance class

Lovely evening. Celebration of closing the season at a dance school.




The different smiles caught moreover my attention. From one dancer to another the smiles variate - from a very controlled one trying to harmonize with the pose, to a "oops"-I-did-a-mistake, to a very the natural, uncontrolled (and quite rare) which was accompanying all the moves: the joy of dancing.
The photo set tries to catch these moments.

Museum of broken relationships

... came across via a flyer in the train station once arrived in Zagreb. I had in mind to visit the Museum of contemporary art, but the curiosity prevailed.
The journey through out the exhibits was impressive: lots of stories told sometimes in few words, sometimes in extenso upon their heros.
Irony, anger, sadness, resignation... the museum is also one of emotions. A whole spectrum is there and easy recognizable. We all been there at some point.

The very few photos I made are here.
And details about the museum here.

Between two stops

Friday afternoon, on the way home. Tired. Therefore happy that the tram arrived quickly.

I got in and, while trying to keep myself next to the door to be ready to get off at the next stop, I smiled to a lady that looked familiar to me. "Hello", I said. Then I realized I actually don't know her and felt a bit embarrassed of the situation.

She started talking to me. A bit fast and, for a while, I couldn't follow her. But then I understand that she was saying that was nice of me to say hello. And that's ok. I smiled.
Then she complimented my matching hat and scarf. The only thing came to my mind was that the gloves are actually not matching. Then I smiled again to the thought.

"No, I didn't knit them", I answered further.
"You should try, its easy", she told me.
"Yes, maybe I will".
"Schönes Tag noch", she said while me getting off the tram I was smiling still.

Window colors





... i discovered them this Christmas while searching for a present for a 8 year old girl. Not sure how the kid enjoyed her present, but I surely did. This is my very first try.
Of course, the ornament for the coffee cup needs serious improvement.
