That’s fierljeppen, a Dutch sport where you use a long pole to jump over water. Traditionally it was across canals, but it’s become a big sport now. This photo was from a couple of years ago when we went to the Red Bull Fierljeppen contest here in town. Lots of fun and harder than it sounds, I think! The rest of my photos are in this set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/abnetsel/sets/72157624446809993/with/4824114600/
They really are funny together. She’s always rubbing against him, walking under him, etc., but he just placidly lets it happen and occasionally just sniffs her butt.

That’s funny!! Loved the shots 🙂
Old photos that I’ve posted before, but they seemed appropriate for today. I couldn’t resist! 🙂
Now I know why those two are always together: Pippo must have an endless supply of patience. 🙂

The first photo looks dangerous. The second one looks so cute.
