An unconventional stroll by the sea…
by mjpichette
This shot was a gift. As we walked out of the house yesterday, I saw this young gentleman practicing his parkour skills on the rail. Luckily, I had my camera with me. There is a double triumph here. He is able to stroll along the rail with ease… I was able to get my camera out fast enough to document it! I didn’t actually change the contrast here. The sun had already taken care of that for me.

Parkour Triumph!
Here are some more photos of his practice.
It is amazing what we can see just outside our door!
very sharp contrast. beautiful silhouette. the man appeared as 2D. I really love the picture.
