“Deep Breath”

June 28, 2010 · 10 comments

Been out working in the heat of the Texas sun?  On your third tee shirt?  Your fifth iced-turban?  Put your feet in a cooling bucket of water after a hard day’s gardening and relax…this is for you:

“Free Fall: World champion freediver Guillaume Nery special dive at Dean’s Blue Hole,  filmed entirely on breath hold by the french champion Julie Gautier. This video is a fiction and an artistic project. Edited by Bluenery (c)  Music: Archiveyou make me feel.”

Dean’s Blue Hole is the world’s deepest blue hole, or underwater sinkhole. It plunges 202 metres (663 ft) in a bay west of Clarence Town on Long Island, Bahamas…Amazing!

Stay Tuned once more for:

“Moi Grande Rain Dance”

” Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun” Oops, you aren’t English are you!

What do you mean I am not English? !!!

I thought you were Scottish!

How very dare you! (Catherine Tate)
No I am a Yorkshireman born and bred! The bagpipe playing must have thrown you :-)
Any road, English I am.

I try never to allude as to what a person with your accent is. I can’t tell the difference in accents and some are very persnickety about where they are from. That’s why I just say “Oh, you must be from over yonder”.

Jenny as you know is English Bob! …And I will never let her live it down :-)
Ach!

Oh my. With this afternoon’s rain perhaps we should all practice holding our breath? I DID have to remind myself to breathe while watching this dive…just astounding what humans are capable of….

Hi TD…It really is!

I must have watched this clip 8.5 times, great filming and fitting music.
Ahh, for these rains. I have been bucketing and paling (for what seems days) the overflow from my “everything but the kitchen sink” stock tank water collection “system”…It has felt really good, well it did until I was unwillingly forced into a really straight jacket.

I bet you had some help tipping out those buckets! Enough already. I really did think you were English but all the Scottish talk put me off and the bagpipes too. Sorry old bean.

I always have plenty of help tipping out my buckets! I have to get to them first and pour them on an already sodden ground, otherwise he will waste it, and that will not do at all.
Haha! I thought you were implying that I was from New Zealand…Englishman+American immersion=New Zealand accent?
Nae problem petal:-)
