Splash!


This is where I lost my Sony compact digital camera.  Climbing down from this rock I heard a clunk.   Hmm.  What was that?  When I turned around to check it out I heard a splash.  By then it was pretty clear my Sony had dropped into a small pool next to the rock. I plunged my hand into the cold darkness to search for it.  It was 10 minutes before I was able to locate and retrieve my poor old camera. I tried drying it out but no luck. It's a goner.

A truly tragic drowning. Did you try to resuscitate? Sometime if the water is cold enough it slows down the camera's metabolic functions and delays brain death.

OH man! I guess it was worth it, cause that's a cute photo of you on the rock!

No Dave, I think it was hypothermia.
Yes, Linds it was worth it because Erich just got me an early birthday present - a new pocket digital camera!
