[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Gorée island, 15 minutes by boat from Dakar city, young people gather during the week-end to practise different sports. These ones combine rollerskating and diving ...
They are champions. They created an Association called Accro-Roller
Gorée is well-known for sad pages of History. Not far from the place where this shot was taken, stands the House of Slaves, today a museum managed by a wise and great man, Mr. Joseph Ndiaye. Everyday, hundreds of people come here to visit the place where once men, women and children pass the door of the travel with no return ...

Love this moment, almost unbelievable... we wondered if it would be very easy to swim with skates on?

Very nice, shot, and the ships behind also help it along, interesting colours...

Hi,
Super action and photo.
Y.BEL

I enjoyed reading your note telling us why you took this picture. It's a very good action shot. Good timing to get that young boy so high up in the sky. Well done.

Hi Sylvie.
Excellent timing, very good moment capture; congratulations.
Thanks for sharing.

Yasin.

Nice shot Sylvie, an excellent captured, it seem like he is frozen in the air!!! Good job! TFS

capture au bon moment!
Je ne connaissais pas ce genre d'activité... mais qu'importe le résultat est très bon. La "pose" du jeune homme me plait beaucoup aussi.
Du bon timing : )

bonsoir Sylve, belle construction de l'image, le quai, l'enfant dans l'air et les bâteaux au loin.
J'aime bien ce cadrage.

Hello Sylvie!

Glad to see you back on line ! Sorry I missed your return, having been away myself for a few days lately .

Kids do find some funny ways to pass time. This one is indeed a very refreshing one! A very useful note as usual.
I am looking forward discovering your next works,
Cheers!
Robert
