Default Parkour on the Thames embankment yesterday.

An organised group, will get their name, practising on the sand on the banks of the Thames.
Could not help stop and shoot (camera), and am just going through the shots now to upload some to my gallery.

Pretty impressive to watch I have to say. Gutsy, artistic, and nice to see youngsters with something positive to do

Couple of shots here to give the idea....

Time to get my 350 and learn to play about a little more I think, but im glad a shot was worth it. Thats the aim at the end of the day. Get 1 good shot for the day.

The guys doing the parkour were amazing. A few groups practising but these were by far the best and most daring.
They have a website, which if I can find the URL for is worth a mention, after all, without them, there would be no pics lol
