Boys being boys..



My title in no way refers to or excuses any kind of macho attitude or behaviour, it is all about the reason women live longer, you have to click and look.. hilarious but oh so dangerous! Walking across the bridge at Hillarys Boat Harbour I stopped to take a sequence of shots of a group of young lads doing back flips into the water from atop the posts along the boardwalk into.. not particularly deep water 😱 The mum part of me wanted to say 'come on lads, that's not sensible' the photographer part of me thought 'this will make a cool sequence of images against that gorgeous sky'. The photographer won, and checking from the other side, they all left the scene safely, phew! Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  8. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something like, What are the last words uttered by a man waking up in an Accident and Emergency ward? Hey guys, watch this! The in motion photo is great.

  12. Fabulous series of shots but oh yes so dangerous. My little grandson split his head open doing that into a back yard swimming pool.

  14. The photos are beautiful, but I share your concern, as the water doesn't look that deep. I can end so wrong...
