Highlining The Trollveggan, Norway

Highlining while roped to the line, like these extreme sport enthusiasts, is like living life with Jesus.  Highlining while not secured to a line or without a parachute, is like living life without Jesus.  Jesus is our safety.  He is the One we can hold onto with certainty, knowing we are secure if we are tied into Him!  Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble."  Jesus is your lifeline, your refuge, your security.  Trust Him now, don't walk through your life on the dangerous side!

"This was a very cool moment because I've been into highlining for a relatively long time compared to Alexander, and he's already better than me. It was like passing the torch," says Frenchman Julien Millot (right), who was on the shorter, "easier" line. He and German Alexander Lauterbach, both avid adrenaline seekers, are seen walking toward Troll Wall, or Trollveggen, the tallest cliff in Europe at 3,600 feet. This was the first time anyone had highlined in this spot overlooking the stunning Romsdalen Valley in northwestern Norway. Though both men are roped up to the line, that's not always the case. "When we fall, we either catch the line, fall on the harness, or sometimes we go BASE jumping—don't forget to wear your parachute rig!"

Getting the Shot
"Highliners are not so very fast, so I had a little more time to get the shot," says photographer Branislav Beliancin, who happened upon this duo while hiking in Reinheimen National Park. Baliancin aborted his hiking plans to spend the day shooting adrenaline shots with a 24mm wide lens and making panoramics, like this one, with his Nikon D700. "You need to be careful because you are directly on the mountain's edge. One bad step and bye-bye."
