I was terrified and astonished when I saw this drum line high up in the air in a public square -- Piazza del Popolo -- in Rome. With no safety net, these seven drummers and an acrobat on a trapeze were suspended in the air over the crowd in the piazza by a crane. It looked like a human mobile!

Wow, what an amazing thing to see out of the clear blue! Heights make my stomach churn a bit, so I'd never like to do it but I sure would love to see it done.
Great post! Have a wonderful weekend.

How scary and brave (or maybe stupid) of those hanging from the crane. Great photos!! I'm sure that is one memory that will always stay with you.
(check back to my photohunt again if you get a chance - I added more photos)

Nice to see photos and information from somewhere relatively close (I'm in Costa Rica right now). Amazing part of the world -- thanks for sharing.

Yikes! It really does look like a mobile. And on top of that they had to beat down on a drum . . .
That's pretty amazing.
