A man walks the tightrope in the remote mountain village of Tsovkra-1, some 3,000 metres above sea level in Russia's Caucasus region of Dagestan August 20, 2007. For children in this remote mountain village on Russia's southern fringe, after-school games means balancing on a wire suspended one storey above ground. By a quirk of history that goes so far back that in time no one really remembers, nearly every man, woman and child in Tsovkra-1 can walk the tightrope.
