Default Entertainment on London's South Bank

I'd like to share these two pictures, not because they are great photographs but because I think they catch the moment. The double jointed entertainer is just 'how does he do that!' and the other is my son getting a soaking in a water maze. The walls of water go up and down but unfortunately he stepped out as the wall was going up. What I like about it is the way my two nieces (foreground and background) and my other son look on in horror and amazement at what happened!

Well you got a "how on earth did he do that" from me for the first one
And I'm still laughing away to myself having seen the second, great expressions on the kids faces.

Excellent pictures AndCity

That first one sends tingles down my spine. And #2...what is it was kids and water! And it is funny when you 'escape' the drenching and someone else gets nailed! Great expressions!

Thank you all for your comments, those street entertainers were brilliant!

When Tim got his soaking I was actually setting the camera for a lower shutter speed to soften the water and so I just clicked the button not knowing how it was focused or anything - luckily the result wasn't too bad although the focus is on my neice in the foreground.

Great captures! The expressions on the kids' faces is priceless and the street entertainers are incredible. You have 2 great "catches of the moment". Great work.
