How many times have you gone down that thing, Raj? I love to watch the ski jumpers. Cool shot.

Raj, this is one heck of a perspective, so sharp, clear, and well composed. I really like the ripple patterns in the snow on the jump. Looks pretty darn scary to me. I did check out your link, and found it interesting, thank you. Tigs♥ =^..^=

If I could ski, I'd probably avoid something that's been rebuilt 19 times. MAkes for an interesting photo though.

I'm in a story both funny and cruel. But am I the hero or am I the fool?

It looks so Impressive .. Holmenkollen .. When I was a little girl in Finland (I am born in Finland) there was a Finnish ski jumper,Veikko Kankkunen .. I sat and listened to the radio (I was 12 when we got TV ) and hoped that he would win ..Fabulous photo,Raj.

It looks impressive, but scary, at least for me, Raj. I hate snow and I am scared of heights. I like the angle.

Wonderful perspective gives a real sense of height. A most impressive image Raj.
Enjoyed the link as well

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Whoa, what a view and angle. I've been at the top of one in Lake Placid NY, just looking down is scary
