A Truly Amazing Feat
by Gerda Grice (tourist) 
Camera:
Nikon D-80
Location:
Toronto, Ontario
 
Canada

Photographer Notes:
I shot this at the Buskerfest here in Toronto in August of this year. This act, which goes by the name of the Quebec Russian Bars, is really spectacular. The young woman jumping through a hula hoop in the air has been bounced up from and is going to land on the thin (about 3 to 5 inches wide) that is being weilded by the two pairs of hands we can just see in the picture.

Great street scene, Gerda. It is amazing what people can do. I would have trouble with just the hula hoop on solid ground. Congratulation on your POTD.

Great street scene! The looks on the faces of the onlookers tells the story! Congratulations, Gerda!
LaRee Brownell commented on October 15, 2007 23:42:
Yep, I agree the looks on the onlookers faces is priceless. The girl in the air is sharp, but movement is definitely going on. I like the way the hula hoop has motion blur. Great street scene capture!
