Jumping from the high branch

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 2 March 2006 in Sport & Recreation.

This picture goes together well with yesterday's shot of diving off the boat. This young Maori boy climbed high up the tree and then called out to his Dad to watch him as he took the leap off the branch. There were a lot of young children around, diving and jumping into the cool river. Brings back fond memories of me and The Incredible Hutch doing some crazy jumps off the Groto.
