All Tied Up

This resembles a rope knot made by a boater or rock climber. Perhaps it is a clove hitch. Or is it a sheet bend? Whatever the case may be, the rope itself looks quite unbreakable. Would you believe that with one quick yank from either end, that the rope could be snapped? The truth is, that “rope” could be torn apart with barely any force behind it: it’s really dyed human hair, something people with long hair encounter on a daily basis. In fact, we have on average 100,000 strands of it. The image comes from freelance photographer, Harald K. Andersen, from Steinberg, Norway.
