I've certainly been as close to an edge as that for photos. My all time
foolishness was this shot where I gave the camera to my ex-wife and
asked her to take my picture

Later I learned that what I was standing on, hanging right over a falls
of about 250 ft., was not rock, but dried minerals from spray. And they
break off and fall every so often... Here's the fall in perspective

When I first saw this shot again, after many years, I felt the fear I
don't remember feeling then. WHAT WAS I THINKING?
Funny how, the less life left ahead, the more cautious one may become
about losing it. Maybe I'll go back when I'm 97 and try again. :-)
