Rooftop Gymnastics.



On a beautiful rooftop somewhere in Europe, she practices her talents without a care in her World...

Edit: I have received a few comments on this being a photo manip but I assure you it's not. (Except for the border) This is the real shot as I took it from my hotel balcony in Lucern Switzerland.

Roof Top Gymnastics EXPLAINED


Ok, I have had a bunch of comments my photo, "Roof Top Gymnastics" and I thought I would post this picture that I took from a different angle off of a boat of the hotel I stayed at and a pretty good shot of the roof in question... As you can see, my balcony was a good 5 stories above the roof top where the girl was practicing her gymnastics and due to my angle, it gives that unreal or manipulated appearance that a few have commented on.

I hope this helps and not hinders the original's over all feeling...
