Nothing all that outstanding but am posting it for the picture about the Opera Ball in Vienna. When I worked at the embassy there, my boss was required to attend this as it was also a huge diplomatic deal. It gave him a chance to chat with his counterparts from all over Europe to include those from the defunct Warsaw Pact.

The one of the three Prime Ministers caught my eye. Women around the world are no longer being restricted to the back row in politics. There are now eight of them. Maybe not in big, powerful nations, but they're there.

I really enjoyed this one. This happens all over the alps and the animals are bedecked with flowers and their huge bell. They normally go home by themselves and it's amazing to watch some break from the herd to enter their own yards.
