Some buddies gathered atop an abandoned bridge abutment in the
Farmington River in Unionville. There is only one way down.

And, when your buddies are watching, you've got to show your best stuff.
While I was approaching, an earlier friend did a backward somersault off
the abutment. Missed it! That will teach me to walk with my camera aimed.

Boys having fun. I've done that a few times over the years.
wow amazing shot!

Did you tell him to point his toes?
Climbing must be a wee bit more difficult than diving off that stone platform. Testosterone manifests itself at a very early age!
don't despair. this one is pretty wonderful.
I hope they have checked out the depth of the water very carefully.
You catched the moment ! Well done !
Young men always like to do such things everywhere in the world :o)
What a fun capture! I love to see how they climb up there to that lofty perch.
These guys are enjoying some good old-fashioned fun!
My first thought was exactly the same as Dave's :) young people seem to believe they're invincible! But they do look like they've been here before..fun times Jack.
Hope they checked the depth of the water. Rivers can have shallow and deep spots. Great shot. They could fool you once, but not twice.
Perfect timing, fun shot, Jack.
Nice photo op, well caught, sorry for the missed somersault!
Careful though, because if you walk with your camera aimed, you might fall... :-) Though of course I don't think that your hair would er... stand up!
Definitely a guy thing! Nice catch of the fun, Jack.
Uh, no thanks. I lack the nerve required.
A good action shot!
Old fashioned fun indeed! And what a fun shot as well, Jack!! Hope your week is going well!
Looks like fun!
Good one! Ah, boys will be boys:) (I do love those old alumni reunions - incredible you saw a Class of 42 person...they're over 90!)
This reminds me of the good ol' days. And you thought summer would never come! Great shot. And looks like great fun!
Great timing and lovely light, Jack.
what a perfect summer photo!
Timed to perfection. That looks like a lot of testosterone fun.
nice action!!
i guess i wouldnt dare that...
as for coney island, i think we have been there even 3 or 4 times! but there is plenty of stuff i never did in the netherlands, i think thats how it works, if you are a visitor, you want to try everything. if you have lived there your whole life... well... there is always another day you can still do it... :)
