Nina from Hamburg, Germany

Ich glaub, das verlernt man nicht... hallo Franz, man sieht, wie viel Spaß ihr hattet :))

14 Mar 2017 10:26am

@Nina: Die Stelzen lagen beim Eingang zu einer Hütte. Ich bat um Erlaubnis, sie benutzen zu dürfen, und los ging's! Du hast recht, das verlernt man nicht. Ich denke schon, dass wir Spaß hatten; ich glaube, meine Freunde warteten darauf, dass ich hinfalle, aber den Gefallen hab ich ihnen nicht getan ... ;-)

@Willem: Oh yes, I was fun to see that I could still do it ... ;-)

Dany Kervran from Morillon, France

Very nice view, and a pleasure to see you, Franz !
Yoy stay very young in your behaviour, and that's a good recipe to remain a young man :-)

14 Mar 2017 1:07pm

@Dany Kervran: These are very kind words, Dany! Others might have said 'childish' instead of 'very young' ... ;-)))

Brockaly from Leominster, United Kingdom

Very good - higher next time please.

14 Mar 2017 2:10pm

@Brockaly: I would certainly be able to come down again, but I'm not sure if left could get up in the first place ... ;-))

Rick from Toronto, Canada

The boy inside the man is alive and very well, I see! Excellent light-hearted image, sir Franz.

Don from Spokane, United States

You look happy on the stilts, I think you're friends are waiting for you to fall. You are good so that will never happen.

14 Mar 2017 3:20pm

@Don: I hadn't done it for ages, so I was rather surprised it went so well - and so we're my friends, apparently ;-)

You should have used them upside down, it's more exciting, but you still had fun with them :)))
Funny shot Franz ...
