Cliff diving comes to the big city

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series 2013 stopped off in Boston yesterday, with 13 daredevils leaping from a 27.5-metre platform affixed to the roof of the city's Institute of Contemporary Art.

Watched by over 25,000 people on land and water, the event was won by Colombian Orlando Duque - a 10-time cliff diving world champion - with Artem Silchenko (RUS) and Gary Hunt (UK), in second and third.

The event, and the city setting, made for some truly great photos:
