Hannali designed this by taking a silver ingot and firing a machine pistol bullet through it. A powerful statement.

Looking down from the Cloud. This is a very tall building in Zurich. The tallest.

Another view from up top.

An attempt at a 'selfie' with Hannali. Not as clear as it looked to the naked eye.

This one worked. Amazing to think that we have been friends since 1955 when in Sub B/Grade 2. Wonderful.
