COOL PHOTO -NOT WHAT EXPECTED!

      Speaking of cool photo's! It was one of my first times skiing in Colorado back in the late 1970's. With friends, Don Brittin, and Bob Merritt we went out to Aspen, Colorado to enjoy the spectacular scenery in one of this country's greatest ski destinations.

       During a lunch break at a mid level mountain slope restaurant and before getting ready to do some more down hill skiing, I spotted a lovely "snow bunny" putting on her ski's. And, since Don had a camera strapped around his neck to take a photo of her! So he did. End of  story until we returned home.

        When he took his negatives in to a local photo shop to be developed, he made a big discovery. Off the reflection of the glass of the restaurant  behind the young lovely was a skier doing a complete somersault, and caught the skier upside down in mid-air. That week-end there was some Ski Jumping competition going on with ESPN televising it. 

       Here we thought all we were taking was a simple "bachelor's" picture of a pretty girl and we got this fantastic picture just by luck! Never knew what finally happened to that picture as my friend, Don, passed away with cancer a few years ago!
