Living Dangerously, 1909

Living Dangerously, 1909
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN
Technically, this is not a great photo - but having to find a photo that is not showing an accident, but rather anticipating one, is harder than it might seem.
So here's my example; the only one I could find.
The young man is sitting in the bowl of the intake funnel of a cider press.
If they are both drinking hard cider from an earlier apple pressing, then it's even more precarious!

RicksPics, Nouchetdu38, Don Sutherland, Silvio Francesco Zincolini have particularly liked this photo

My Gramps in his youth was a swinger.
He fancied my Nan, a humdinger.
Their courtship was fraught and came nearly to naught
When Gramps, drunk, caught his tail in a wringer.

Such a cool old photo. I'm quite surprised by her left arm casually draped across his thigh.

hahahaha! Very clever, Rick. : D
And, it is rather a casual pose for a couple, I agree!

Definitely a precarious perch! It took me a bit to figure out whose arm that was. I didn't expect to see her arm draped around that way either!
