 Part two of a swap with Abra.  This time it's a lovely aerial view of Disneyland.   So fun!

Swap - Ballerina Clown

Jonathan Borofsky's controversial 'Ballerina Clown' graces the Venice Renaissance building at Rose and Main. It combines condo living with shops and resaturants. 

I remember this sculpture from my trips to visit a dear friend in Venice years ago.  It certainly does catch your eye.  

This year marks the sculpture's 25th anniversary. 

Thanks very much for this little gem, Sheena!
