Now we need a giant racket and net! 🙂

   What a cool angle for a picture! It sure looks enormous. I wonder whether it’s real? Looks too good to be real. Do you think it could be photoshopped?

     Nope, Ana . . . it’s real 🙂 It’s a sculpture at the Nelson-Atkins Museum (see link in post for some other views)
