A beautiful Moment in Time.
A zip-line (also known as a flying fox, zip wire, aerial runway, death
slide or tyrolean crossing) consists of a pulley suspended on a cable
mounted on an incline. They are designed to enable a user propelled by
gravity to traverse from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable,
usually made of stainless steel, by holding on or attaching to the
freely moving pulley. Zip-lines come in many forms, most often used as
a means of entertainment. They may be short and low, intended for
child's play and found on some playgrounds. Longer and higher rides
are often used as a means of accessing unusual areas (a rainforest
canopy for instance) or found at outdoor adventure camps where they
are usually one element on a larger challenge or ropes course.

Hi Luella, do you dress-make?
Hi there valse-love don't they look as though they are really happy.
Miss History 64 months ago | reply
Star1950, not so much, but my sister is good at it and I want to learn how to sew. this seems simple enough to do once I understand what I'm doing a little better. :3

Hi luella, I can dress make and it just takes patience. Listen to your sister she will learn you some basics, but the best way is to learn on a machine yourself.

Thanks, Star. :D I tend to have more patience with people than with machines...surely it can't be THAT hard!

Interesting. They have no helmets and no safety harness. I doubt that you will see that today. Wonderful photograph.
