Skywalking Russians Take Amazing Photos

A new photographic trend called skywalking, is becoming popular in Russian teens.

The brave teen climb their way up to nausea-inducing heights atop a series of structures, stand on its very edge, and snap a photo of the view down. Skyscrapers, electrical towers, monuments -- if it's tall and dangerous looking, they are climbing it to capture some breathtaking shots. To top it off, the thrill-seeking photographers seem to be working without any safety equipment whatsoever. But they must be enjoying it, because tons of these photos have been hitting the internet in the past few days.






19-year old Marat Dupri is one of these death-defying skywalkers. He began taking photos from his rooftop after buying a canon camera 18 months ago, and since then he's been snapping photos from stomach-lurching heights all across Moscow. From the famous monument of Peter I to the Moscow Tower, the tallest building in Europe, Dupri and his skywalking friends have demonstrated no limit to what they will climb to capture amazing pictures.

The photos take our breath away, so we can't imagine how these daredevil photographers actually feel as they stare down the hundreds of feet between them and the ground.
