Flying High

Sayward, BC

Imagine my shock as I glanced out my car window and saw this biker flying through the trees right beside me! Then a second look revealed that an artist in the making was staging some 'aerial antics' for passersby. They'd strung a steel cable from tree top to tree top and suspend the 'realistic' looking biker/sculpture and machine on the cable. - Look close and you'll see the cable and the round guides that hold this creation in place. I couldn't resist sharing this and the 'artist' gets my vote for best outdoor sculpture of the year!

At first glance I thought "Oh how calm the biker looks as he flies," but then I saw the cable and thought it was a zip line for bikers. That would be pretty wild. Great entry!
