You&#8217;ll be swept along art filled corridors by the hordes, all on the hunt for the woman with a sly smile and be carried into a large room with a sole frame on one wall, not much taller than a tennis racquet. It would nearly be enough to chance a glance of the woman from afar but alas even that proves difficult amongst the gentle swaying of arms raised high, grasping onto all manner of camera&#8217;s, smart phones and recording devices. Eventually you wiggle your way to the front only to realise that a photo of the painting really doesn&#8217;t do it justice or show it in proportion and find it far more amusing to try to take photos of people taking photos. Sometimes wonder takes a different form from what you were expecting&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/finding-wonder-61-of-100\/\" class=\"post-read-more\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1774],"tags":[2178,2179,2181,1781,20,2180,2177],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/61_finding_wonder_the_mona_lisa_louvre_dave_barry_quote.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4726,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4724\/revisions\/4726"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sommermelse.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
