Noooooo - Don't Wave

What goes up - must come down.

 

Mrs Mail and I were walking along near the river in the city, and a young kid and maybe his big brother were running around, when suddenly the little guy ran over to a light pole and shimmied up to the top.

 

Big Bro didn't seem the least concerned.

 

I asked Big Bro if I could take his photo, and he said sure.

 

As I was lining up the shot, I called out "Give me a wave" then suddenly realised that he would have to let go with one hand to do that, so took the camera away from my eye, and yelled "No don't let go, hang on with two hands"

 

I didn't want to feel responsible for the little guy crashing to the ground.

 

As I looked back through the view finder, guess what I saw.

 

This guy was like a native up a coconut tree, and I have never seen anything like it before.

 

PS: I added a tight crop of the kid below.
