These daredevil highliners are the ultimate chillseekers - setting up hammocks hundreds of feet in the air. As they inch their way carefully along the thin wire, some are even happy to pull out a guitar and play some tunes. The extreme event, called the International Highline Meeting, is in its third year, and takes place at Monte Piana in Italy. It is a large gathering for fearless folks to hone their skills without any form of competitive edge. The idea of adding hammocks was put forward by hammock manufacturer Ticket To The Moon. 为了追求寒冷带来的刺激，一群不怕死的家伙居然把吊床吊在几百英尺的高空，真是做到极致。当他们沿着单薄的吊索缓慢移动吊床时，有些人竟然还兴致勃勃地拿起吉他弹上一曲。该极限活动被称为国际高空吊床大会，本次是第三次举行，地点设在意大利的蒙特皮纳。它是属于勇士的大型聚会。活动中勇士们将在没有任何竞争优势的情况下磨砺自身技能。而加入吊床的想法是由吊床制造商月球之旅提出的。 Highliners attach the materials to a strengthened 'highline' as they walk out to their designated relaxation spots - 150ft high. Snapper Sebastian Wahlhuetter captured the breath-taking shots as 22 people hopped into 16 hammocks. The meeting ran from 6 to 14 September, with 500 people attending. Sebastian, who also helped to organise the event, revealed it was difficult to capture his shots due to the remote location and steep, rocky surroundings. He said: 'The action lasted around an hour and it was amazing to see all those people hanging out in their hammocks - it was exciting to watch. ' A special highline set up was rigged so that it could carry the weight of the many people on one line at the same time. 'Monte Piana Highline Festival was definitely the best highline event I have ever photographed.' |
