A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Looking back at summer

Well, for those of us on the top half of the planet, summer is officially over as of yesterday.  To those down under, spring should be underway, with summer only a few short months ahead.  With autumn having started, it’s nice to think back to just a few short weeks ago, when the days were long and weeks were spent looking forwards to weekends at the cottage, or some other relaxing spot.  Of course summer always is thought of as the domain of the young, with school out it certainly can seem that way, but for adults summer is also a time for fun.

lookingback

BME user CutieKimmi sent in this photo of her enjoying the summer sun.  I had to shrink the image a little, but if you look close you can see that she has a series of microdermals down her spine.  You can see the larger photo in the microdermal gallery.

Looking back on the past is a great way to look ahead to the future.  So while summer may be gone for this year, we still have a lot to look forward to, well until 2012 if you believe the conspiracy theorists.  So how was your summer?  Did you do anything special this year, or did you just want to get it over with because you’re a huge fan of the fall or winter?

    Thats.. Bloody glorious. And quite sexy in its own way. Can’t say that I’m a huge fan of the spread towards the lower back, but its still quite awesome. Hopefully she can hold onto those micro’s for awhile.
