Anniedeb 04-26-2017 05:48 PM

Ummmmm......No...just no. Thankfully there's someone much braver than I to provide the lovely pics!!

JustAbitCrazy 04-26-2017 06:38 PM

My stomach lurched. If you click forward and view the rest of the pictures, there's a building with japanese or chinese writing at the top on a sign.

sewbizgirl 04-26-2017 06:45 PM

Scary!!!!!!!! :shock:

Jingle 04-26-2017 08:40 PM

Not for me. I can't even stand close enough to a window to look out. No heights for me above 2 or 3 floors.

Sew Freak 04-27-2017 02:50 AM

got dizzy....yeah....I know....you warned me!!! Cool pic though!

coopah 04-27-2017 05:09 AM

I can't do heights. At all. A step stool...I can go up two steps, but not three! On the other hand, my son installs windows in skyscrapers. The last time I asked how high he'd been...he told me 7 flights up. I quit asking. It's better not to know, even though they wear safety gear.

I always wonder why people intentionally put themselves in danger like this. Is it the 'thrill' they receive?

sparkys_mom 04-27-2017 06:29 AM

Nope! Not for me.

I just saw on Facebook a new interstate that's open from El Paso to Georgia. It goes through Austin. I don't have to think about going over the Lake Ponchatrain bridge in Louisiana to go up north. I don't mind short bridges but I do have a limit. My limit is far from any of these photos. Not to keen on narrow mountain roads either.

Evie 04-27-2017 07:25 AM

No thanks! I get dizzy when I have to change a light bulb!

I have a thing about going over bridges that span vast amounts of water. Like the Skyway bridge in Tampa, Fl., the bridge you spoke of in La. And you won't ever catch me driving that one to Key West, I don't care how beautiful the Keys are. Speaking of that bridge in Tampa, Fl. when a section collapsed back in 1980, I had drove over that bridge about a month after that, I was terrified. I had no choice but to drive since we were moving to Cape Coral for work and I was towing our belongings in a trailer.

Scary and crazy!

I am still dealing with 2 months of vertigo so I am NOT going to look. The comments are enough to give me a hint as to what might be there.

Your from the thumb area of Michigan? I was born in Kalamazoo and still have lots of family in that area. Well with the exception of my older brother Jack and his son Steven, they live up near Howard City.

They should add the swimming pool in Texas (http://www.teenvogue.com/story/clear...buildings-edge), the Skywalk over the Grand Canyon (http://www.grandcanyonwest.com/skywalk--eagle-point.htm), and this slide in LA (http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/lo...383714711.html).

All these are for the brave at heart. I might try the Skywalk and maybe the pool, but not the slide. :)

I don't know if I would be brave for the Skywalk or that slide. My husband has been working with me since we got together to climb a ladder taller that 6 feet...lol
