It's been a cold but clear day in Hobart. Perfect day for a flash mob I thought, recalling this YouTube vid that a friend gave me the heads-up on only recently.
Performed on Moscow's Sparrow Hills earlier this year, I haven't been able to find the definitive story behind it although conflicting theories are suggested in the comments.
Perhaps the mystery works for it?
I look more closely for clues and imagine a different story each time I have viewed it. But mostly I just enjoy the vibe and the dancing and I think about how much warmer Hobart is than Moscow.
I watched this clip every day for a week because it made me smile. Of course, lots of things make me smile...even if they don't (or can't) dance. But it is easy to forget small things. So I am starting a collection - in case I find myself short of smiles on any given day.
