Builders in the sky!!! Shocking Photos!!

/ Understand there are occasional job openings for those who have any expertise ( particularly scaffolding) in this line of work. Can hardly wait until the walk is finished to take the tour. First, the China wall, now this. When will it end? Credit where credit is due though, they do know how to create jobs.

Thousands of metres up the vertiginous slopes of Shifou Mountain in Hunan Province, China, a team
of workers, operating with hardly any safety measures, are building a footpath

The workers are building a plank road on the side of the mountain that, once it is finished,
will stretch for 3km (9843 ft) and be China's longest sightseeing footpath

48-year-old Yu Ji (above) is one of the workers and he has been working on high cliffs building such plank roads for more than 10 years. He comments: "Young people don't want this job, as it requires them to stay deep in the mountains for months or even years"

Yu Ji takes charge of the most dangerous part of the project -
drilling the holes to set up pipes to support the footpath

Building a plank road on Shifou Mountain is difficult because the
cliff stands vertical at 90 degrees, without any slope or alcoves

My Memories of the Maldives

Pin It

Maldives Island Boat by PhotographyByPixie

Today i've been reminiscing about our weddidng and looking through our pictures, i can't belive it's nearly our first years anniversary, must think of a suitable present made of paper for my husband, at least it shouldn't cost a fourtune this year!! I've also been remembering the good times in the Maldives, we spent 3 wonderful weeks there and met lots of lovely people, eat lots of lovely food .. and got soaked in there not so lovely rain!! We got married last June right in the middle of their monsoon season but it didn't spoil a thing, we were quite lucky as most of the time it seemed to rain when we were swimming in the sea or when we were asleep late at night! I wish we could go back and visit the staff, everyone was so friendly out there and looked after us like we were superstars .. and i really have to swim with sharks again, they were only small black tipped reef sharks but it was still a big thrill, and the turtles, they were just amazing, so graceful swimming along and not bothered at all that we were following them with our underwater cameras, at least i have some great pictures to look back on :) good times :)
