[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Jump from bridge to Aradena Gorge - enjoyment for venturous person only. Aradena bridge is very high - 138m -it is said that this bridge is the highest in Europe. where bungee jumbing is performed. There is a company which organises the jumps several times a year. I made a photo of the poster invited to this atraction.
The Aradena gorge bridge was built in 1986. Next to the bridge you can see an old cobbled road which goes down the gorge and climbs up the other side. This was the only link of Aradena and Aghios Ioannis to the rest of the world until the bridge was made.

Very interesting poster, makes me want to find out more about the place.

Great photograph - unfortunately you didn't take it, you just photographed the poster.
It might be an interesting record shot for someone who has done the jump, but a snap of a poster isn't really photography. Just my opinion.
Maybe you could have incorporated the poster into a wider scene, showing us some of the surroundings, or even better - photograped the bungy jump yourself.

Cheers,
Ben
