Floating music

A swimmer plays the violin while floating on water at a pool in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, July 3, 2010. Four violins were damaged during the on-water practice. The 70-year-old can also write smoothly while floating. He took a fancy to the sport four years ago when he learned that a man broke the Guinness record of floating on water. Lying calmly on his back in the water, he tilted his head all the way back with his ears just under the surface of the water, and then he spread his arms out like an airplane. And the swimmer kept his legs perfectly still, which was the most challenging part of the stunt. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
