World's Strongest Snail
Brian competes in the final event of the World's Strongest Snail 2026 competition, the Atlas Stones - this involves five heavy spheres, increasing in weight, that must be placed on top of five platforms along a course. You've got this Brian - he is determined to win this year!
For Macro Mondays theme 'Sphere'. Given that the ping pong ball was 4 cm in diameter, the image was cropped to about 7.2 cm.
I hadn't planned on participating this week, but I dropped in on a friend who mentioned his table tennis club - and the proverbial light bulb lit up over my head. I asked if he had any spare ping pong balls and he produced a white one and orange one (I didn't know they came in orange).
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
