Anything’s planned? That is a usual Rabbit of no luck’s chat-up line. No, no, we aren’t going to speak about talking rabbits today.

When the author of these shots saw another collection of slow-down photos for a billionth time, some strange desire has been borne within him and just a bit after already no one could still this hunger of his as he decided to try the tricky thing by himself and find out what is what. He was quite well-prepared and attacked the thing with all his care: precise timing, a sea of dodgy devices and his own bright head that helped him a lot with such intricate calculations he was in need to make.

But as the weather was fierce and sea wind was blowing really heavy, accidentally it fell down. No casualties, of course.
