time for some summer shadows
here in stavern there are several shallow beaches for the youngest and oldest but for the youthful at heart the place to swim is bratten (the steep one). there are 3 diving platforms- 2m where some boys are standing and a combined 5 and 8 meter wooden structure. for the extremists there is a natural 12m cliff but there aren't any shadows to speak of there.😎
8mm is high enough for me. once in the water it is not so easy to get out so just recently a cement stair has been added. for years there has been a rope to grab and pull yourself up and that was sufficient and more authentic so i don't see the need for the steps. the shadow is from the railing on the higher platform.
having ascended the steps you still have to climb across the rock a little to get to the 5m platform. at my age that is high enough for diving and there are many both old and young who don't quite dare any higher
here is the access to the 5m platform with the shadow of the 8m platform above it
but the real thrill is at the top of those stairs . the shadow of the stairs on the rock face emphasizes the slope. there are many who venture up the steps only to return down them again to have a closer look at the 5m.
this photo is my contest entry
today is a little cool and i am out shadow hunting not swimming so i am just going for the photos.
the zigzag shadow looking back down the steps is not from me shaking with fear of the height...
there is a railing on the sides of the wide platform and there is a non-slip surface closer to the edge so it all feels very safe until
you reach the edge. a rational person gets a clear signal in their gut that this is not normal and maybe not even safe but on the other hand just about everybody who has taken the plunge before has lived to tell about it and the whole thing is over in just a breath so why not live a little and take that simple step forward
after all it is summer
