This pic may not be the bestest quality but it is, as far as Mrs Carmichael is concerned, the epitome of big. Big scenery, big view, big Sagrada Familia, big dive, big board.

Please don’t take this the wrong way; but I can’t help but chuckle at the combination of “Big” theme, the swimmer, and the background.
That said, it’s a great composite picture.
Ben with you on that one however he was the only one I managed to snap with that background – the others are cityscapes.
I guess we should agree that his ambition is big (it was after all the world finals)
I wish I could ‘thumbs up’ like that comment. However, I can only say that I approve and agree.
Good enough for this mannequin 🙂
Big Barcelona shot. Very nice.
Thanks, Kongo. Have you ever tried the high board?
Depends on what you consider a “high board.” Kongo has leaped off some pretty high places into the water. The monkey is not so good on form…biggest goal was to not belly flop.
I like the can do spirit.
Wow! That is a clever shot and perfect for this challenge. I am always awed by the high divers. How do they ever pluck up the courage to dive from that height?
You wouldn’t find either me or JB there, I hazard.
Well, JB isn’t afraid of heights, being an alpine beaver, but at the same time he doesn’t like to put himself at risk. He isn’t as brave as he would like everyone to think. And he wouldn’t like to damage his lederhosen unnecessarily.
Or me my Louboutins 🙂
So no high diving for us then!
no abseiling down the Shard either 🙂
At least you would be tied on to something for that! JB and I prefer to look out from inside.
Very cool picture!
Thank you so much.
Wow, I’ll say! An amazing venue – great shot!
Venue par excellence, thank you.
Wow, what a composition, mrs. carmichael. Great!
thanking you. Now, here’s a question…..should I jump at a dog sit in North Chapel Hill next April/May. The house appears to be rather nice. Answers on a postcard please.
Yes, yes, and yes. Will that postcard answer do? And if you go to Chapel Hill, I hope you’ll contact me so I can come for a visit! 🙂
OMG I thought it was a goodie – probably won’t get it ‘cos I’m due to be in Puglia with hubby on an achievers’ do till the 13th April which is the day she wants the sit to start but will now make contact and see if she can move her dates for Mrs C (not holding my breath) and of course you can be my roomie. I’d be devastated otherwise.
It sounds like loads of fun, mrs. carmichael. Of course I have to work during the weekdays, but I could sure arrange a visit on a weekend! 🙂
I’m sure she’s going to be inundated with offers and there’s me trying to change her dates!
Something will drop at some time, i’m certain.
Yes, I’m sure it will. We’ll see what happens! 🙂
Great BIG! Sorry I am so late !
It’s been a bit of a week like that and thanks.
It sure has! Thank you!
thank for the ping 🙂
