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

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.

Neat mountain place...but would hate to be swinging when the thing decides to break.

Is that cliff as tall as it looks like it is? I would never get on that one O.o
The picture is really good and peaceful!

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 (:

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?

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!
