ROCK DIVERS

Another filler today from the many pictures taken on our vacations. these pictures are of rock divers that risk their lives daily for the entertainment dollar.
picture top left: diver climbing up the sheer rock formation to the area where the platform is located.
top right: he is walking towards the shrines to pray for a safe return.
bottom left: notice the flagman who is watching the waves to give the diver the signal just before the seventh wave (which is the biggest) hits the cove so that the water is deep enough for the diver not to hit ground.
bottom right: diver in full flight

Good morning Bruni! And thank you for your long comment ! I can imagine your feelings, when you were breathing frost air of Canada after Mexico. Even a way to breathe has to be different in a hard frost.
Nice to see photos of extreme happenings , not any more to participate in them in person :))

Great capture of this scary pastime.
