Launch (Weekly Photo Challenge 2012)

Here’s my entry for the first Weekly Photo Challenge 2012. I shot these photos back in 2006, but to compensate for the old photos I made these new Weekly Photo Challenge badges & top header (please check them out & feel free to use them as you wish).

I wish you all the best of luck for 2012, and keep up the blogging. May your posts rock the world!

    Cool, that kid of yours must have enjoyed it. I wonder how it’s like living with snow. I will literally freeze, haha

    Great action! I got chills just watching him hit the snow. Did you have to dig him out?
    Thanks for the pingback, and for the list of everyone.

      No problem! I’ll add to the list later as more people join in on the challenge.
      Didn’t have to dig him out – the snow was new & soft, just like we like it!

      I miss snow too. There hasn’t been much snow so far this winter, but in February we’re going on a trip to an amazing place where there’s plenty of snow!
      (I’ll write some posts about it in February)

      I guess it can be a mother’s nightmare, but of course it’s not a nightmare when uncle is there: arranging the ladder & encouraging the kids to jump :)

    What a daring and fun looking activity! We’ve had some pretty deep snow banks here, but never soft enough to jump into, and never close enough to a convenient roof!
    Thanks for linking to my launch!

    Absolutely stunning! I would just love to be jumping in the snow….. LOL! I can say that because I’m in Florida! Truly though, I love the snow and your pics reminded me of that wonderful delightful feeling of making snow angels and falling right into it head first! lovey work.

      I would love to visit Florida: swim in the sea, feel the warm sand between my feet, check out the flamingos, party in Miami, etc.

    That is one impressive, action pack, thrilling version of launch. If there’s snow in my side of the world, that is one activity I want to try. Happy New Year!

      It’s a highly recommended activity, but it’s not that fun if there’s no snow: the jumping is still fun, but the landing is not the same…

    great photos! reminds me of the blizzard of ’78 in Massachusetts when the snow was so high we were able to jump out 2nd story windows with no fear of life or limb! kind of fun, actually!!!

    Thanks for the pingback! I like your sequence – it looks fun although I bet from the top it looks liek a bigger drop!

    That snow is really deep!

      For sure: when you stand on top of the roof it looks like you’re further away from the ground, than vice versa.
