Banana tightrope 3

I'm not sure why I'm interested in this spurious banana wire idea. I just am. This will be the last one for now!

A bit of highwire trivia.
How do balancing poles help tightrope walkers maintain their balance?

The artist often carries a balancing pole that may be as long as 12 meters (39 feet) and weighs up to 14 kilograms (31 pounds). This pole increases the rotational inertia of the artist, which allows more time to move his or her center of mass back to the desired position directly over the wire. This effect can be magnified by making the pole as long as possible and by weighting its ends.

The pole also helps balance the funambulist by lowering the center of gravity. High-wire artists use drooping, rather than rigid, balance poles.

I'd love to see someone using a 39', 31lb balancing pole to help them balance on this tightrope. ;-)
Great focusing and light. Seriously, interesting info, too.

@dulciknit Yes, I was trying to get the focus spot on with the 60D, and that's how this banana wire idea formed.

Well, you made like a toothless budgie on this - looks spot on to me.
