[Elizabeth] I grew up doing circus arts, and I'm happiest (and most coordinated) with my feet off the ground. I'm primarily an aerialist, but handstands are a part of the trade. In 2006, on a trip to the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador, I got to see the equator (a touristy place with a giant red line painted on the ground), and the "Handstands across the World" idea was born. It started first with boundaries of some sort - the equator, the US-Canada border, four corners (one handed!). Then it started to grow - I visited the K/Pg boundary as part of my research work, and took my first Geological-boundary picture - right hand dinosaurs, left hand no dinosaurs! And I've been doing handstands in cool places ever since. Here's a compilation of handstands from this epic road trip. (It took so long because I had to rescue some pictures from my phone before Christina joined me and started taking good ones). Enjoy!
