My favorite rooster. He’s gentle and mild, but he likes his high wire.



If you haven’t heard of Philippe Petit, who threw a wire between the World Trade Centers the moment they were constructed and tightrope walked between them (eat your heart out, Blondin), you’re missing out.
The documentary with the original characters is called Man on Wire (excellent!), and the Hollywood version, The Walk, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit and is almost entirely truthful (also excellent! and in 3D!). Both films will incite gasping, awe, and breath-holding.
He tightrope walked (and more) between the World Trade Centers!

Great pictures. I have never seen Man on a Wire, but have heard of it. Why/how people do that is beyond me?
