Around this time every  year the mall near our house stages a Santa  
arrival. The event draws a  crowd that must number near 1000. Everyone  
sits waiting anxiously for  Santa. The mall management does it up big  
with a reporter up on the  roof broadcasting to a wide screen TV down  
below and an elaborate  Santa castle in the center of the mall's large  
atrium. Finally, smoke  fills the stage and Santa emerges. Every kid in  
the audience and most  of the adult are transfixed. I snapped this pic  
with my little  Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1. I had to go to ISO 800 to  
avoid using flash.  I held the camera nearly at ground level, so I  
could look up at Grace  and the crowd. The result was noisy as heck,  
but I smoothed it out a  bit and converted it to BW. It's  here:

Nice capture, Paul. Grace is  cute as always too (especially like expression 
on the girl next to  her).
