River Rafting 2001
seen from the hill or from the bridge it looks pretty easy
on the water in a tiny boat
it looks more difficult
I know.
“Security is a kind of death”
(Tennessee Williams)
“You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water”
(Rabindranath Tagore)
The tell a letter-story challenge by idea of the good “frizztext“
now the time has come to the letter “X”.
Xtreme Sports
Xtreme sports and generally xtreme experiences are very modern
why is it – can we ask
some believe it’s due to a revolt against an xtreme controlled life
both private and business
some believe it is due to lack of maturity
and rooted in pure selfishness
while others believe that it is human nature to search limits.
Basically it’s about risking something
some xtreme-athletes are really tough
others expect to be rescued immediately
if their projects fail
It is a fact that each year worldwide
there’re used gigantic resources in emergency aid
also help as it was predictable would be necessary
but humans are only humans.
Why climb a mountain ..?
Because it’s there ..!

Thanks, really appreciates… 🙂
Those that do X-games sports are crazy people and have so many broken bones. I do have a philosophy and great respect in regard to water. It can be quite mean, so I’d rather not white water raft. Good for you for being so daring Drake!

Thanks, appreciate your comment… 🙂
Agree, one need to be respectfully about the sea
– as borned on a tiny island (many years ago) I know that… 🙂

River rafting, how exciting. Tagore is one of my absolute favorite poets. Great capture here and wonderful story told in verse.

I enjoy reading Tagore too – thanks really appreciate your comment… 🙂
“Xtreme sports and generally xtreme experiences are very modern

thanks N.! sometimes it is even Xtreme risky, to draw some cartoons …
#.frizztext
Yeah many things are risky and things often not black or white – we humans try often to do things black or white – but not every thing that we human beings are doing are right… 🙂
There were 12 cartoons over the same theme – only one was used again and again by xtreme right wings -the other cartoonists wanted to be independent of the xtreme ultra right wing people – these 11 drawings were much more ironic or sarcastic (and in my opinion much better) – but caused no problems for the respective artists – the biggest and perhaps only problem was that this one cartoonist either sold his soul to the extreme right or naively allowed to be exploit by these right wings – things often not only black or white,.. 🙂
In danish – tell me if translate miss… 🙂

thank you N. for your insider description – did not know this detail!
Sometimes details deliever the key to understand that things aren’t black’nd white – in my eyes both the ultra right wings and and some “black” imams act xtremely stupid and conscious manipulative in order to promote their own agenda – they act the same and paradoxical look like each other…
Both parties using religion as a weapon – but none of them is God’s best children – whatever which god people believe in…
vart ifrån ær bilden på bron? 🙂 ær de du som fotografer?
hærlig blogg!

Det er ikke langt fra franske Alpe D’huez over mod Briancon… 🙂
Tusind tak… 🙂
It looks quite daunting and dangerous to me… The X factor!

One have to keep the head dry and cool,
and not wet and cold… 🙂
This one wasn’t so dangerous, I believe there’s a lot wild and dangerous – haven’t been there… 🙂
