Photos that bring to mind the concept"Hard"

This was a "hard" topic.

I chose the photo of curling for several reasons.
1. When the skip wants to exhort his sweepers to greater effort he invariably shouts, "Hard!, Hard!"

2. If players are inattentive in their movement on the ice they have been known to slip, fall backwards, and rap the back of their heads on the ice and they found out quite quickly that the ice is "hard".
Everyone knows that diamonds are extremely hard. I didn't have a photo of a diamond but I did have a photo of 9 jets aka Snowbirds flying in a Diamond formation.
