Parkour

Hello there,
It's been a while since I blogged, am now getting back into it and will be reliable from now on.

We were in London yesterday, on the South Bank, just mooching around, seeing what was going on, looking at a couple of exhibitions, having something to eat and watching the world go by.

Amongst the skateboarders, street painters and bmx riders were the free runners. Free running is another name for Parkour [taken from the French, parcour or obstacle course] and is the art of running gracefully whilst using gymnastic prowess to navigate ones way over, across or around everything in the way including bridges, walls and buildings.

I was particularly taken with the Parkour[ers], they are great to watch, get down there and see for yourself.

Aside to that, I was also quite pleased with this photo, which was taken with an Iphone no less because I didn't have my Nikon with me.

Until next time...
