In Hamburg on 29 December 2009 I was walking the streets shortly after the sun set. I came across these two guys wearing jumping stilts, something I had never seen before. I only had the weak flash of my compact camera, but was able to get these photos by cranking the ISO up to 800.

Nobody my age would put these things on, unless desirous of a stay in the orthopedic ward. I guess they might have some appeal to a much younger man. Comments, Teenage Machinist?
