Default Base Jumpers
There's a bridge that is legal for people to base jump off a couple of hours away so I was lucky to get some pictures during my Labor Day road trip.

My kids thought I was a little crazy for taking this shot, since the jumpers were just walking out and "not doing anything cool."
Base Jumpers walking out

5 minutes later, this was the scene in the first few seconds of their jump:

They both landed OK although a little hard.

Love the lines in the first one, the railings really set it off well.

Wouldnt get me jumping off there though.

Nice work. I went skydiving a couple of years ago, but I wouldn't try that.
