Silks: “Performing aerial acrobatics while hanging from a 500 ft slackline from a 600 ft cliff is something that I definitely don't see everyday. I can honestly say it is one of the most beautiful expressions of art that I have ever seen in my entire life. The cliffs of the Fruit Bowl are huge. I set up an anchor and had to rappel with the camera for 100 ft (30 m aprox) to get the right angle while acrobatic aerialist artist Liz Thomas was hanging from her silks. Under my feet there was nothing but 600 ft (200 m apro.) of air before touching the ground.” Photograph: @dmartphoto/Agora Images
