T6-Water Skiers - This would take a light touch on the stick!!!

Early morning anglers are treated to the spectacle of four T6 Harvard Aircraft from The Flying Lions Aerobatic Team water-skiing across the Klipdrift Dam near Johannesburg South Africa.

Lead by Scully Levin, with wingmen Arnie Meneghelli, Stewart Lithgow and Ellis Levin, this renowned airshow display team rehearse a sequence for the newly launched "Aviation Action" television program on Supersport.

Arnie Meneghelli from Academy Brushware, owner of the aircraft, had this to say, "What we did today I believe is a world first. It illustrates that South African airshow pilots are amongst the best in the world."

This unusual act, approved by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and supported by Castrol Aviation, was meticulously planned and took place under the watchful eye of divers and paramedics that were on site.

Looking at all these pictures, there is one thing that is obvious to me. There are a lot of accomplished photographers in this group.

Great thread! Not only do I get ideas of where I would want to go by seeing where others have gone I also just enjoy looking at the great photographs.

AZsix, thanks for the kind words.

When I started this thread I had no idea if it would go over. It looks like it's been a popular thread.

I enjoy my pictures and love seeing pictures from others. So, please, if anyone wants to, add your pictures to this thread.

Below are two pictures from Alaska. Using Photoshop Elements I made this montage, printed it and hung it on our wall.

Using Photoshop Elements I made this montage from a few pictures I took while camping at San Diego's Dos Picos campground.

I took this picture from a small boat at Baja's Mag Bay.

If you look close you'll see a mother whale and it's baby.

I took this picture as we were whale watching in Baja's Mag Bay.

We were in a boat exactly like the one in this picture.

In this picture what you're seeing is a baby whale spraying water all over a person. In all the times I've been whale watching in Baja, this is the only time I've seen this happen. We all got a good laugh out of it, including the guy who was sprayed.
