"A man of adventure"

Photo courtesy of Dr. Zsolt Zátrok.   Whenever my dad would see a daredevil perform an unbelievably dangerous act, he would always say "Now that man has more courage than he has sense!". And I must say that I usually agreed with him. Well, today's picture by Dr. Zsolt Zátrok shows one such daredevil perched atop a Croatian waterfall that appears to be at least 50 feet high, and possibly more. As I sit here and stare at this image, I imagine that it must have taken nerves of steel for the guy to simply make his way through the violently turbulent water  - and then stand on the precipice just inches and one slip away from meeting his Maker. Like dad used to say, that man has more courage...     Visitor Comments... Name: Phyllis Helton Town: Bristol, VA The picture is marvelous however, you and I agree about his courage...     Name: Winston Rockwell Town: Kirkland, WA Website: www.northwestnaturalimagery.com Amazing! I don't see how he could even get where he's standing without being swept over the falls by the rushing water! As you said, "nerves of steel"… or perhaps, no nerves at all!   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
