Guardian angels cause internal injuries and broken bones

2008-06-16

An Australian base jumper’s parachute did not open properly when he jumped down a waterfall – reason for the radio news of Antenne Bayern to praise “multiple guardian angels”, AFP’s German report sticks with the singular, saying “The guardian angel apparently didn’t let him down” (my translation); “the man suffered a suspected broken leg and pelvis and internal injuries”, full report without “heavenly help” in English here.

:thumbsdown: Hello, dear guardian angel(s), how about fixing the guy’s parachute to make it unfold properly? (If you actually existed, that is…) I think it’s rather (unintentionally) cynical of the news writers/speakers to actually praise the “guardian angels” in cases like this, if you indeed believe in them.

(By the way, the jumper may be charged by the police due to jumps being illegal there.)

Projekt 52 week 25: Ramshackle, scruffy

2008-06-16

The topic of week 25 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Ramshackle, scruffy

This time, I admit it, a photo from May – the assumption that there would be a topic like this in Projekt 52 played a role in the making of this photo, of course. Well, I could go out and shoot the same object again, but what for? ;)

25: Ramshackle

Week 25: Ramshackle

A wall that has seen better times…


I modified color saturation and contrast “a little”, as you can imagine…

  • Sapere aude (German) proves the statement “You owe me 100 Euro” the way some folks want to prove the existence of god. :)
