Photo Hunt - Theme 'Flexible'

This week's Photohunt theme is 'Flexible'. This photo is from San Francisco's famous tourist attraction - Pier 39. The bungee trampoline this boy is bouncing on is called 'Frequent Flyers' :-)


Pier 39 in San Francisco is one of the most visited places in the US. It is part of the larger tourist district called Fisherman's Wharf. The entire area is abuzz with shops, restaurants, a carousel, street performances (the World Famous Bushman, among others) and many other attractions to keep tourists entertained. In most days families of sea lions can be seen lazing around Pier 39. Fisherman's Wharf is also a delight for the seafood lover - the signature dish being clam chowder served with sourdough bread. It is also the place from which ferries depart to Alcatraz island, the infamous prison-island which can be seen across the Bay. Ferries can also be availed for 'Bay Cruise' - an hour long journey which takes tourists under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz island.

For more photos of San Francisco, see my post here.

A marvellous shot and so very apt for the 'Flexible' theme.

The thought of jumping on a trampoline gives me a high! Love them. Do you?

@ Kalyan - Thanks a lot :-)

@ Celine - The thought makes me excited too, but have never tried to be on one. Not sure whether the trampoline owner would be very excited at the thought of me getting on it though :-)

Hi Ananda,

I’ve tagged you for a game. It’s simple and easy and I hope you'll play it.
