Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors thought that if they rowed their boats far enough out, then they would fall off the EDGE of the world. The second picture is taken on North Gare. The drop is about 20 feet. Both pictures this morning from the same location.
whippet,
Great thinking out of the box to go along with a more "traditional" interpretation of "From the Edge". I really like it. Well done!

Frank, great shot! I love the contrast between the smooth, silky water and the rough, textured, rocky edge. Well done! |

Visiting the California coast and no shortage of edges. Here are a couple taken today - the first was one step away from a sheer drop into the Pacific - I hope the flowers weren't in memory of someone who took that step. The second was taken at the water's edge - we spent a while watching this pair of oystercachers playing in the surf. Tony
Tony, two beautiful shots! I really like how you captured two different kinds of edges and established the "demarcation line" I mentioned in the Notes in my OP. Another job well done (as usual)!

From the edge of my seat-
Andy, glad you were in the right place at the right time. Great interpretation of this week's theme! I really like how you incorporated the edge of the plane in your shot, just a bit of it in the corner of the frame. It put it all in perspective! Well done!

Along the river's edge on a snowy day Pete, what an interpretation of "From the Edge"! Great composition! I love how you went for B&W. It adds to the feeling of a "snowy day". |

Bob, great capture to fulfill this week's theme. I really like how our eyes are drawn from the edge of the top step all the way across, under the overpass, to the other side. You had your camera on the right spot. Great job!
Thanks Sepiana. The location of the steps housed an elevator up the bluff from 1887-1927. image.ibb.co/bNoJmF/Eleventh_Street_Elevator_3.jpg |

My son and I went to The Peak District to walk the Monsal Trail yesterday, and spotted this abseiler going over the edge to raise money for Cancer Research. He's a braver man than many! The second shot I captured leaning over the edge of one of the viaducts of this former railway line which , following closure, has found new life as a walking/cycling/riding trail.

Brenda, WOW! You do the have the eyes of a photographer!
The way you took the shot of the man going over the edge made all the difference. The slanting angle (perspective?) does emphasize the going-over-the-edge feeling.
The second image takes "From the Edge" to another level. I love it! Great composition -- the viaduct edge coming from the corner of the frame and dragging our eyes to the depth below. And the leading lines formed by the body of water and the road? Priceless!
