great picture. makes my legs feel uneasy just looking.

I second that. Cool shot though.

Are you holding something in your right hand? It would have been cool to have both open. Though no need to go back and give it another try. Nobody needs to be put at risk because of a detail :)

Nice shot! You're nuts though. The wind is the scary part.

Ya, I had my remote in my hand. If need be, I could Photoshot a couple of fingers in there.

Thanks for the comments,

You should have tried it today, 50 mile an hour gusts and really strong winds all day long. You would be condor bait...Ha..Ha...

Gutsy, and certainly something you can put on the mantle for all to admire.

I wouldn't go back for round two, at least not when windy. The last place we want to see this shot is in the latest edition of the Darwin Awards.

Nice shot of the canyon, but I'd try to clone out the guy on the rock!;)

And think of this - next time there is a slight earth tremor (seismic event = earthquake), that piece of rock won't likely be there. Good thing you got a picture of it when you were there.:D

Which reminds me - the eastern US experienced a more than gentle SE yesterday - brick fell of buildings among other things.


When did voluptuous become voluminous?
