Rafting

They go Rafting

Getting in...

The young in wetsuits bob off hugging the rubber sides;  one will fall into the living flow, one will jump off, one will jump five metres down into it for the hell and the heaven of it and be rescued by ropes.  The raft will spin and jump high and plunge under and sail over rapids.  Feet will be waterlogged and numb, and the rafters will grow to love the river and their raft mates for a moment or two.

Falling in...
Hurried goodbye...



Setting off...

...for the open river...

  1. Catherine - I can NOT believe how much B is changing. He is no longer a thin weed. His face is changing so much. ... or am I going mad?

  2. Actually he is a thin weed but never say this in front of R, the taunts are unbearable, and remember there is no-one in the photo who actually has legs. I guess it depends on the light and the angle, but I do sometimes not recognize him and wonder what happened to the childhood, seen from here the whole thing is sort of 'flatpacked' in the past and I can't even be sure it ever happened...dear Jenny, I live for your comments!...
