And yes, I used that chair to climb up. I'm not afraid of heights!
It was a broken chair.
There's a strange kind of mad and self-destructive strength in fragility.
While I really do appreciate your visits and comments, I might not be able to comment back or to reply to all your great comments on a regular basis.
You're wonderful. Thank you.

@Alphons: Danger? I laugh in the face of danger!
Actually not always! :D
Thanks Alphons :)

Hi Shirin,
I like your creativity mostly. This is a great image and very good post-processing. Your choice of naming a photo is wonderful too.

@Fartow: Thanks a million for stopping by :)
Glad you liked my photo.
I love the title. It's Gary Moore - Still Got the Blues.
I thought using this title would make a good match with the color of this shot and my mood.

@Krims@nline.be: Thank you for stopping by. I really appreciate that! :)
It was a cold day and my fingers were frozen and it made it even harder to climb up! But I would never let go of this chance!
@Paula Camps: Thanks a million :)
willow from Chelsea, United States
Very cool - it made me chuckle. It's quite a creative shot.

@willow: Thanks willow :)
It was freezing cold that day. Recalling the day and the way I was struggling to climb up all alone puts a smile upon my face too! But this is a sad shot for sure...
@Grahame: Thank you so much Grahame :)
Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Very creative shot here. It evokes various emotions. Great perspective and effective focus.

It wasn't easy but I think it was worth the struggle. I was sitting there for about 20-30 minutes.

This say to me "shall I jump to the safety of the chair or take my chances and hit the ground?"
Brilliant image!
15 Jan 2009 5:48pm
@lordspudz: Thanks a million :)
Actually the chair wasn't so inviting and safe! It was broken and I had a hard time using it to climb up and down!
I'm alive though! ;)
