Delphine. Aerial Sling (hammock, loop) belongs to the family of Circus and Aerial acrobatics. It is a long piece of fabric, hanging from the ceiling, forming a swing. What is distinctive of this fabric is, its length of approx. 2 meters, which allows the acrobat to get his whole body into it, as if it was a huge hammock and perform a number of poses and drops.
Feeling terribly sore muscles after trying it a couple of times! In the pic, my coach Delphine at the Geneva Aereal dancing school.

Great Swiss actor and theater producer Valentin Rossier. Here portrayed at his home in Switzerland.
Light was poor, but in the end I took it to my advantage, giving the picture an old portrait style. I find his way of looking very intriguing and captivating.

Imperfect geometry - This pic was taken after having my first experience of aereal dancing. As I went out of the school I though the contrast was so interesting between my experience some minutes before, so exciting and inspiring, and this dark corridors, cold and empty but with some beauty in them despite of it.

Ivory ! These ivory elephants were brought to Spain 40 or more years ago. I think they were purchased in the actual Equatorial Guinea, then a Spanish colony. Today ivory trade is completely forbidden for good reasons.
