Bungee Jumping

Today I went for a 3-hour cycling just to do a bit of exercise. I made a brief stop at Scheveningen to take some photos. Although it was already 6 pm, plenty of people were still there. But it must have been very crowded during the day today as the temperature was quite warm and beach friendly.

I went to the end of the pier to watch closer people doing bungee jumping. My zoom lens isn’t that powerful but good enough to capture the moment of no return – when the person had to jump. For most people it was not just for the exhilaration and experience but also to boost around that they have done it.

From the pier, one could see the Kurhaus hotel, an old but majestic building and is one of the most expensive hotels to stay here. The building was completed in 1885 and forms one of the more famous backdrop of many old photos. Even at this late afternoon, there were still some people on the beach, even swimming in the sea. The water must be cold, after all this is the North Sea and water seldom goes above 15 Deg. C even in the summer.
