With you, it’s every picture tells a story Michael. Risk. It’s that which we call the unknown, but knowable when we fall in. Lol

I agree with John, great description Michael and great drawing. Fools rush in and all that......

Good one Michael, thinking outside the box! The one with the yellow trousers does look as if he’s slipping and sliding.
