Swiss tightrope artist Freddy Nock walks on a cable high above the Thunersee, the lake of Thun, near Leissigen in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland on Saturday. Due to winds and rain Nock later had to abort his attempt to cross the lake on the cable. Nock is attempting to set a new world record by achieving seven tightrope records in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in seven days. (AP Photo/Keystone/Alessandro della Valle)
