Yes, in three axes. Did you look up and down?

I did. Very cool.

This one is from this morning's road trip from the door to the edge of the backyard. This maple is just leafing out.

Lovely shot man.

That's gorgeous, bigV! Is the color tweaked at all?
Nice framing, too. I totally get the Narnia reference.

There's a trapeze school in the parking lot across the street from my office building. It's been there for a couple of weeks, and will be there for a month or two longer. Classes are $40-$60 dollars each. I remembered to bring my camera to work yesterday so I could get some pictures of it.

Here's a view out of a conference room window just down the hall from my interior office. You can see the safety net easily. They also have safety harnesses for you when you are climbing up the extension ladder to get to the starting platform, and harnesses while you are on the trapeze itself.

There appear to be 4 staff/teachers working all the time. One to put a harness on you and hold the safety line while you climb the ladder, one is on the platform with you when you get to the top of the ladder and coaches you, one to hold the safety line for when you are on the trapeze, and one is on the second trapeze to catch you when you fly from one trapeze to the other.

It looks like there are 8-10 other students sitting in lawn chairs in the shade waiting their turn.

So after you get to the platform, the head instructor tells you when to step off that platform and swing out on the trapeze. There is a simple system the teachers use to call out to each other to get the timing down perfectly.

This student somehow got a little tangled in her safety lines, but it didn't hinder her.

She let go with her knees before grabbing the other guys hands. That was impressive. She was flying. Most other students would wait to have a hand hold before they released their knees.

glatt · 06-23-2009, 09:24 AM

Here's a more typical student. She's maybe a little more nervous, grabbing that trapeze with her knees for so long. She let go a moment later.

It all looked like fun, but I'm too skeered to try it.
