I thought this week, instead of posting old images, I would post some current ones, specifically those entered for this month's competition. But it didn't work out like that, seeing that I only entered 3 images. So today's and tomorrow's posts are from my archives. The set subject for the month was "Freeze the moment", and this one could have been entered, except for the fact that for the set subject section, images can't be more than approximately one year old.

I almost think that it takes as much guts to photograph something like this as to actually do it. Lovely one Rob

@Daniel Rossouw: Thanks Daniel - I must confess I was a lot happier on my side of the camera!
