Every day before the sun rises, hundreds walk to the Phan Thiet beaches to excercise and meet friends.
A training excercise gone bad.

Practice Rescue Ends In Fatality
Williams, Indiana - A practice swiftwater rescue ended tragically April 15, 1998 with the death of state conservation officer First Sgt. Karl Kelley.
Three other officers survived the ordeal when two boats were drawn into a deadly hydraulic. This turbulent reversal of water occurs when water pours over an obstruction, such as a low-head dam, to create a dangerous circulation at the base.
The incident occurred at Williams Dam on the White River while the participants were using a difficult and potentially dangerous technique known as the "two-boat tether."
In his text, Swiftwater Rescue, Slim Ray describes the technique as using two boats tied together with a 100' - 150' line. The upstream boat gets as close as safely possible to the "boil line", the downstream margin of the hydraulic, while a rescuer in the bow of the boat attempts to throw a tethered flotation line to the subject trapped in the hydraulic and pull the victim to the boat.
According to Ray, "Under normal circumstances, the upstream boat does not enter the dam's backwash." The second boat, downstream, performs two functions. It assists the upstream boat in maneuvering and acts as a safety to pull the first boat back out if it enters the backwash. At all times, the downstream boat keeps enough tension on the line to keep it from snagging on an obstacle or a propeller."
On this day, however, as the first boat approached the dam's hydraulic, it was drawn past the boil line and hit the face of the dam, throwing the two officers from the boat into the water. The two men clung to the side of the small, inflatable craft and struggled to get back into the boat.
The two officers in the downstream safety boat tried to maneuver into position to throw a rescue line to the individuals in the water. But their boat apparently lost power and it was also pulled across the boil line into the hydraulic. As it crashed into the face of the dam, it broke apart, throwing the second two officers into the water.
Now, all four men struggled to regain control of the first boat, which crashed repeatedly into the dam face, but remained intact.
Finally, the officers made it into the surviving boat, which was pulled to safety, but Kelley (who had been in the safety boat) was unresponsive. The surviving officers attempted to revive him after he was dragged from the water.
By the time the officers reached shore, paramedics from Dunn Memorial Hospital were on scene and immediately began CPR. After an assessment at the hospital, the officer was taken by helicopter to the University of Louisville Hospital in Kentucky. He never regained consciousness and was taken off life support. He died at 2030 hrs. Friday, April 17. A second officer was also transported to Dunn Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Kelley had been a conservation officer for 28 years and was the assistant commander for District 6.
Information for this report was taken from Slim Ray and the Bloomington Herald-Times.

Padyn and BonBon were overlapping their workout with their lounging time. Here they are concentrating on their quads, I think.

I see this every morning- people in the park doing qigong- taichi. I finally had my camera to show just how many people do this
Personl quickie, heavily "inspired" (read: copied, plagiarised) by one of my favourite piece of digital art of all time, which happens to be also my newest wallpaper in use: "Bouquet" by Justin Maller and Emeric Trahand.
You can see the original here: www.depthcore.com/chapter/obsolete/4740/
Done this as a quick excercise on effects, composition and to make a personal piece to release, since my other new four pieces are blocked.
Hopefully the original artists won't sue me!
