- To Fly -


                             Stretch the rubber band a little further
                             The human cannonball
                                                  - short-haul flight
                              Some stunts work better than others

Very creative write as well as image Anne-Lise :) I always get a bit nervous when I fly, but I would definitely pass on this particular flight! <3

This image is very thought provoking. It ends in a very down to earth image. Beware stunts gone bad.

Anne-Lise, I remember seeing this act at a circus. Hopefully, the net is in the right place. The acceleration of the person must be something to experience. I wonder how many g's? The idea of stretching the rubber band further makes me think about taking risks and not understanding limitations. On the other hand, some people love pushing the envelope as far as they can. Smiles!!

You post some of the weirdest pictures, Anne-Lise. Your sense of humor makes them even funnier.
