PEOPLE DRIVE

In Iceland there is a tourist spot where you can walk the path safely to look at the waterfalls. Anthony told the story of how he took a risk to get a photo that no one else would. “There were people everywhere, and a bunch of signs saying not to go over the ledge—no trespassing. But I figured if I went over the ledge I could get a wicked photo. So, with about 200 people watching me I decided to just do it. It was very sketchy—I walked out there, the rocks were super wet, and as I climbed over, a bunch of rocks fell. I thought I was going to die. But I got the shot! “I had a red raincoat on and all these people could see me. So I went up to the top where there were only about five people and took the red coat off and put it under my black one I had on underneath. I took my hat off to let my hair down. When I came back down the Icelandic patrol were there, looking for the person in the red raincoat. They were looking to give me a fine or something. They didn’t recognize me as I walked past them. I got really lucky.” D. 30
