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.

Good diving serie ! It reminds me of my last travel in amazonia where we used to jump in the water to get refreshment ! :) But I never jumped from so high !

Nice shot! Your Mom & I remember those jumps. They were a lot higher than the height from the tree. In fact you had to wear your running shoes to lessen the blow to your feet upon entry into the water. It created some anxious moments for your Mom..but like the swimming through the underground tunnel without breathing gear... she got used to it :>)

I'm weak in a high place. And I can't swim. But I like this photograph. It's a peaceful scene.
