Great shot, but I certainly wouldn't call it surreal.

kennyc In reply to Gonzale [2009-07-23 02:11:46 +0000 UTC]

True and I agree, but still not surreal in my book.

Surreal for me has to be something more-or-less impossible but appears real.

it would take an insane strength of will for me to not jump out of that swing at the top! OMG just gimme 1 chance, a sheer drop, and a parachute and off i go!
wheeeee!

very cool pic - the impending sense of doom is almost tangible, but still is tamed by the quiet serenity of the landscape... (i still wanna jump though)

i bet it smells great way up there

(: it might seem steep from the photo...there's a several hundred meters of glacier below, but it isn't very steep.......still took us 2 days to walk to that point though

And what would happen after that? xD

Anyway the background is really peaceful in contrast with the man in the front.

within my 7 years of residing on this website, i've had a privilege of being picked for DD twice before....but being featured by you is an ego-boost on a whole other level..
and you addressing me as a great photographer is downright scary (:

Gonzale In reply to optical-flare [2009-07-22 21:06:30 +0000 UTC]

oh come on
you know i value you as a photographer as much as a person
although i think you should be more productive, or show more.

That's nuts... what a fantastic location... Where is that? Jim Jarmusch would base a whole film around that shot...

republic of Georgia...caucasus mountains...taken at the meteostation at the begining of Khazbegi peak... thank you, but who's Jim Jarmusch?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

hesir In reply to optical-flare [2005-09-01 15:13:11 +0000 UTC]

He's a film maker... his films contain odd scenes sometimes, just stuff he's seen and decided to put into the film he's making. You can find out more about him at [link]

I actually realised that you'd said where the image was taken in your artist comment box, so I looked it up (praise google) and then added it to my Google Earth.

Thanks again for posting such a brilliant image.

hmm i want to say more than just that though; this is such a pure photograph, the atmosphere is so free and open. the scene is magnificent. and like the stopped movement, just everything. this could easily be an advertisement. well done!
