  • Half-way across the thin taut wire of a tightrope, an tightwire walker acrobat riding a monocycle pauses and wobbles to compensate his balance before continuing his journey across to safety at the other end of two supporting poles The act forms part of the Canadian circus troupe Cirque de Soleil during a show in Battersea, London. Blue and red spotlights illuminate this daredevil and we see his tights, his wide-sleeved theatrical shirt and the concentration and grim determination on his face - the look of a professional trickster at work. He may be showing a seemingly dangerous and unpredictable stunt though in truth, he will have rehearsed this simple balancing act for many years but must still keep up the illusion of danger for the sake of a gasping, gullible audience.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

Wearing his bathing costume, a young adventurer clambers over rocks in the Gross Enz river in Germany's Black Forest. The lad of 10 crouches to better balance himself, carefully placing his bare feet on the slippery rock's surface as he emerges from the chilly mountain water. It is high summer and we can see the boy backlit by the glare of strong sunlight in the background. The Gross Enz river rises in Enzklosterle in Baden-Württemberg and is an eventual  tributary of the Neckar. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

It is a steel structure located at the Pleasure Beach, Blackpool, opened in 1994. Roller-coaster freaks raise their arms above their heads though one's instinct is to hold on for dear life. Although it is no longer the tallest, fastest and steepest roller coaster in the world, it is still one of the scariest roller-coaster experiences on offer. Extended caption ..
