The Kawarau Bridge, Central Otago, New Zealand - this is taken from the Bungy platform where the world's first Bungy Jump was started by AJ Hacket in 1988, and it has not lost any of its popularity. The drop is 43 metres. Click Here

Why not go out on a limb, that is where the fruit is....

When I Bungy jump it will be the end of the line for me. Great photo and I wasn't aware where that fad started. Just a beautiful shot looking up the river. Or is it down the river? Either way it is beautiful. Good post Lyn.

Beautiful shot Lyn. Bungy jumping is not for me but I would watch someone do it just to see the scenery at a place such as this.

“Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you”

Oh my, just $165 to scare yourself to death! They let 10 year olds do it too, which surprises me.
Wonderful colors in that shot and such elegant framing. The water is such a nice turquoise. Interesting story. I knew about bungy jumping, but not that it originated here. Did you do it, Eve?

Too scary by half!! My niece's husband Pip did it when they were travelling in NZ. He said it was great, but what does he know?

Bungy jumpers must have at least two qualifications : 1. They must be a little crazy. 2. Must have a strong heart!
Beautiful scene with the plants on the rocks and the blue water.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Thats one thing I would love to try, but would never ever get the guts up to do it. A beautiful spot though Lyn, a very nice capture.

Classy shootin' Tex!! A wee loss of detail, perhaps this might be good with Mr. Orton?? The loss of detail ain't bad, don't get me wrong!! Superb presentation of this special place!!
I'm unable to check out the sight / "link" due to my vertigo sets in pretty quick!! 8~O I'll never be able to shoot scenes like this...I'd be fallin' off the bridge / platform where you was!!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I'll have to agree to disagree with Randy about loss of detail. To me there's so much detail and clarity in this shot, it's almost frightening.
Great job and I'll just sit here and watch the other bungy jump...too expensive for me...sides I'm saving up for another camera body..lol

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I have this image up on my desktop all day. This picture is gorgeous. A keeper.

Hi Lyn, I'll take the middle road here - I think there is a slight loss of detail in the trees in the very back of the picture, but I would never have noticed it if someone else hadn't said something.
To me, what makes this picture SO spectacular is the contrast, the various colors of the trees and bushes and earth tones of the cliff walls.
Got this in the VB and sure glad I did.

Beautiful shot and made even better by the lovely autumnal coloring of the foliage.

Looks very wild - and very high. Craggy rocks and rich green trees. Not sure I'd want to jump from it, but it's a very good shot.

Wow, I love everything about this shot. It looks like a postcard. You could sell this one! No kidding. What an amazing view.
