‘All hope abandon, ye who enter here …’
This is the entry to Alfredo Jaar's The Divine Comedy looking at Dante's great work. It is described as, "Mona’s answer to the afterlife: a journey through hell, purgatory and paradise (via Dante, of course)."
Given the constraints of time on this short visit, I was not able to experience what was behind that door at the top of the stairs. So I am unable to verify whether or not people ever return from visiting here. But the entrance does look suspiciously like a Mark Rothko painting.
After fighting low shadows, bad light, and MOW sabotage, we a little uptight after chasing RISI northbound. Luckily, we found that an extra SARE was running back towards Salamanca. We dashed up to Mt Jewett to get the train by the only active B&O bracket left on the BPRR. Unfortunately, within the coming weeks these signals will be placed out of service in favor of a radio controlled switch.
Honestly, I think the only reason he came in this costume was to try to get into the Slave Leia group shot at 2PM.

Challenge: The Divine Comedy
This challenge inspired me to create a triptych of ATCs to portray the three parts:
Inferno: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
Purgatorio: "And I'll sing, now, about that second realm where human spiritspurge themselves from stain, becoming worthy to ascend to Heaven."
Paradiso: "The love that moves the sun and stars."
The Comedy Club in Islington, now renamed The Bill Murray, with comedy characters painted by Zabou. When I arrived a brewery lorry was parked alongside, so I could only shoot at an angle. But I quite like this one with the drayman looking towards me...he probably thought I was having a laugh.
In the picture: Robin Williams, Eddie Izzard, Victoria Wood...and an unknown drayman.
As you will all most likely know if we do something often enough a mishap is bound to happen. Well that always seems to be so as far as my life is concerned.
Last night I attended my regular dance lesson did a little teaching of a newbie while my dance partner was with one of the older girls who didn't have a partner. the evening was going well my lady partner was learning fast and we even managed a full dance. She was soo happy she gave me a big hug.
The evening was coming to an end my regular partner came bounding over for a dance. we did a couple of good sets without much bother but then it all went pear shaped.
the next track was a faster tempo and Jamie got a little over excited I was into about my fourth turn when all of a sudden my hair was no longer on my head but was instead attached to the button on the sleeve of hits shirt! Ok so to say I wasn't a happy bunny at this point would be an understatement especially as retrieving my hair back was akin to chasing a chicken around a yard. I finally caught hold my old Barnet and headed for the ladies to put it back where it belonged namely on my head.
Funny thing is no one took a blind bit of notice or they didn't react. On re entering the room I made a joke about my wig having a mind of its own and that its prone to run off when it sees another one it likes the look off. I then carried on dancing
Well it had to happen at some point and no doubt my misfortune will be the tale around many dinner table lol.
So pleased I am thick skinned and bothered by things like that. I can really see the funny side it must have looked hysterical.

A pair of ancient Greek theatre masks reflect the ups & downs (joys & sorrows) of our human lives . Also called the Sock & Buskin as an actor in a tragic role wore a type of boot (buskin) to elevate him above the other actors who only wore socks on their feet. Grapes on the comedy mask suggest the joyful influence of wine & the horns for devilish fun !!
Be a bit of a devil & look at my masks album .
Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton (October 4, 1895 – February 1, 1966) was an American comic actor, filmmaker, producer and writer.

Vintage British Postcard. Essanay. Red Letter. Charlie Chaplin in A Night Out aka His Night Out (Chaplin, 1915). The man left of Chaplin is Ben Turpin. The man on the right is Leo White, who plays the French Count/ Dandy while his companion is Eva Sawyer. In the back, the headwaiter, played by Bud Jamison.
English comedian Charles ‘Charlie’ Chaplin (1889-1977) was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. His most famous role was that of The Tramp with his toothbrush mustache, undersized bowler hat and bamboo cane who struggled to survive while keeping his dignity in a world with great social injustice. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and he not only starred in his films, but also directed, wrote and produced them, and composed the music as well. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the Music Hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. Author George Bernard Shaw called Chaplin "the only genius to come out of the movie industry".
