Would you POSE for this PICTURE?

[AviatorTom]

This picture shows a man and woman posing for a picture on Glacier Point, Yosemite California in 1905.

Would you pose for a similar picture today?

[MrOracle]

I've done brave/stupid things before, but I'm not sure I'm that brave/stupid. I suppose the difference is academic - I've climbed on the outside of a fire escape 7 stories up with nothing but sidewalk below me, carrying a cable in one hand, so arguably that was just as dumb, but at least I was doing it for a productive reason (to run a cable where there was no other way to do so). This is why I don't do work in San Francisco anymore - the amount of stupid, dangerous things you have to do to work there is WAY too big.

Why does it look like the male is also wearing a dress?

[AviatorTom]

He's probably wearing a log coat, which was fairly common in 1905 when the picture was taken

[AviatorTom]

*long coat

[handsomelad70]

Yeas, if my hand were on the girl's butt.

[purplepoppy]

Not in that dress. I'm well accustomed to the edges of cliffs and I know how easy it is to feel disorientated especially if there's any wind. The logical part of your brain is telling you that gravity works downwards but the other part is going nah it'll pull you sideways.

Then there's always that voice that is like "this is how baby birds learn how to fly... what if I really can, too? I guess I never tried. Not with such motivation..."

Then I get distracted by a critter or something that smells yummy and go off somewhere.

[dustybiker2]

Two brave individuals.
I don't know.
Wind... Can you trust the person you are with? It's marginally safer with the other person I suppose, as you have a counter weight for safer balance.. I don't know. Beautiful picture though 😎

[exitseven]

Yes, I would do this. I would want them to take the picture pretty damn quick

[Red_Arrow]

Hold that pose a bit more. The wind keeps whipping the clothes around. We should have it quickly. I hope this one does it. Lightening is moving in and you are just like a lightening rod. Hold it. Wait, where did you two go?

[ShadezMcgee]

I think Wilie Coyote would would feel like a betting man if I stepped on it, but joke would be on him. I survived too much shit that should have killed me 10x over by now that I firmly believe potentially lethal situations won't kill me

[BoopBoopBeep]

Not without a fast-open chute on my back. F that noise.

[Violet_78]

Probably not - unless there is a rope tied to me. I’d love to visit though

[strateguy632]

too scary fear falling

[Dinklex3]

Hell no. Too scared. As a child I would’ve

[DJB72]

There's not enough gold in Fort Knox...

[douride2]

Not a chance of it ever happening.

[CubaPirate]

Definitely not

[JayBones]

Nope

[AngryCarl]

I'm pretty sure that's fake.

[120volter]

That is not a real photograph

[AviatorTom]

It's real, not a fake.

[120volter]

lmao no its not

[AviatorTom]

@120volter With all due respect, what evidence do you have that it's fake?

[Red_Arrow]

Well Tom, you got your answer. No evidence.

[KrakenAttackin]

Hell no.

[msc545]

Probably not
