At another thread of TLF (see "Here") Merrily mentioned my new avatar.
I have chosen that pic, in reason one is able to see the in the moment the most worldwide-known "celebrity" of our tiny pool, where I live next to: the female Australian swan "Petra".
I want do do some small promotion for my city, Muenster, that in 2004 got the so called " LivCom Award ".
I have often seen Petra, during Laser "Manatee" (that's the registered official boatname of my Laser) and me sailed on our lake. We all here love Petra. Where she 2006 came from is unknown, but she likes our lake and us.
During the summers, the owner of our local sailingschool "Peter Overschmidt" did care for her. During the winters, she moved to the "local zoo" and the director of the zoo, "Joerg Adler and the MD for animals Dr. Sanda Silinski", at the zoo did look for her.
She got worldwide famous, because she felt in love with a big paddle-boat, that has the design of a white swan. That story went around the world. This onesided-love did hold till winter 2007/2008.
At the zoo, just a few months ago, Petra felt in love to a real white swan. The big swan paddleboat had to leave the zoo, just about a couple of weeks. Poor big swan... But, actually, Petra is again sinlge. Petra's new lover left her alone, perhaps this swan only was a "Latin-Lover". The love affairs of swan Petra seem to be an interesting source for international writers (at GER, already several writers wrote nice stories and a book and also a cinema-movie already exists, but I don't know, if it is nominated for the Golden Globe or the Oscar Award... ). Hey, it's Spring, I say. The likelyhood for her to fall in love again with another swan is good, we'll see.
For the actual story about Petra, one may "google" (keywords: "swan petra") or look "Here".
Usually, there exists an own website for Petra, that is part of the Hompage of Peter Overschmidt's sailingschool. His homepage is going to be redesigned completely in the moment and so, Petra's website ( http://www.schwanenliebe.de ) not is online in the moment, sorry.
Cheers
