Looking for excitement beyond the next Chang?

Try an indoor beach, in Japan...

...or the Grand Canyon Skywalk?

Las Vegas?

Anyone for Tennis?

Too tame? - ok let's try a bit of mountain climbing...

If that's too slow, on yer bike!

ChiangMai noon · 05-01-2009, 02:05 PM

i feel sick.

i hate heights ever so much.

some of them are photoshpped but nevertheless.

keda · 05-01-2009, 02:10 PM

They arrived as a powerpoint.

How can you tell which ones are photoshopped? They'd get past me easy unless it was obvious like three eyes or a second head.

Btw found the right board now, so would you kindly move the two Venice pictorials here?

Rural Surin · 05-01-2009, 02:13 PM

This heights thing...

just viewing those pics gives me the willies.

Marmite the Dog · 05-01-2009, 03:44 PM

I hate heights.

Plan B · 05-01-2009, 03:52 PM

The first lot of pics look like concept drawings. The ones on the mountain were in another thread last year.

phuketbound · 05-01-2009, 11:28 PM

Wicked pics! I'd like to try some of those. Maybe not so much the biking up that high.

I'm afraid of heights to, but challenging my fears is great fun.

this is just outside Xi'an in China. And no, those planks stretching over are not photoshopped

Happyman · 06-01-2009, 01:14 AM

The high tennis court is photoshopped - it is the helipad on that new hotel in Dubai -
Coincidence or what !
As I was looking at the pic there was an advert on TV for the hotel with a heli landing on it !!!

The Fresh Prince · 06-01-2009, 01:15 AM

Have they been photochopped or not?

This one I've been on the mini roller coaster round the outside and the vertical/reverse bungi chair ride on the spike in the middle. The rest is photochopped. (the see saw bit)

And I've watched a show on these crazy bastards so I know this ones true.

keda · 06-01-2009, 01:16 AM

Amazes me how and also why anyone would want to put those planks and chains up.

Could be, I also recall a helipad and anyway it would be too windy up at that height for tennis.

I can fly airplanes upside down all day long, but put me at the edge of a tall building and I want to blow chunks...

Yea me too. That empty feeling when your knackers feel like they are dropping through your legs.

When I saw these pics, I felt a twinge in my stomach.

It's weird how a photograph can make you feel. Even photoshopped.

Anyway, good pics.

Takeovers · 06-01-2009, 04:14 PM

Great thread theme great pics.

Glad to see that I'm not alone in my problems with heights.

The most stupid thing that ever happened to me in this regard was while snorkelling over a most beautiful reef in the Philippines. 5 to 10 meters deep water was no problem but then I came to the border when the seabottom dropped. The ground could no longer be seen, only dark blue. At that place I missed some railing to hold on to. There was a strong fear of dropping into the void. Ridiculous but quite real, I had to swim back to the shallows.

Where is BobsKnob....he loves this kinda stuff.

Big Bell · 06-01-2009, 05:40 PM

I stick to the indoor beach myself!

Caminito del Rey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

El Caminito del Rey (English: The King's little pathway) is a walkway or via ferrata, now fallen into disrepair, pinned along the steep walls of a narrow gorge in El Chorro, near Álora in Málaga, Spain. The name is often shortened to Camino del Rey.

[at]Takeovers: I've had exactly the same experience on Koh Tao around shark bay. I didnt' really mind the sharks while snorkelling out to about 15-20 meter deep water. But when the underwater cliff suddenly dropped down to unknown, dark blue depths and I saw the sharks silhouettes a bit further out I panicked and quickly swam back. Was quite real that fear.
