Tell us the story behind your photo:
Since childhood i had acrophobia...i could barely climb on a ladder or stand near a high balcony. But on this particular day during the adventureous journey, after going through a sleepless night because of bad weather and overcoming countless other challenges along the way, i really felt fearless. So i stood on a wall about 1 Meter from the cliff. I felt my feet shake at first but the ecouragement of my friends gave me the strength to not quit. I just closed my eyes and took in a breathe of fresh air. I relaxed and enjoyed the moment. For the first time in my life- i can say i overcame acrophobia.
