Tales from the top of the world|「美女攝影師」爬遍世界著名高樓


For the past six years the daredevil photographer has travelled the world scaling famous buildings and structures and taking pictures from the top.

Among her impressive list of climbs is the Great Pyramid of Giza, Firth of Forth Rail Bridge in Scotland and New York’s Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. But despite the very real risk of injury and constant threat of detection by security guards, Lucinda takes these challenges in her stride. 

大膽的25歲美女攝影師 Lucinda Grange,在過去的六年周遊列國,征服無數世界高樓,並在頂部拍照留念,以不同的視角呈現各個城市的面貌。讓她印象深刻的包括吉薩大金字塔、蘇格蘭的福斯鐵路橋、紐約的曼哈頓和布魯克林橋。儘管冒著生命危險和被警衛發現的重重難關,她依然堅持挑戰,絲毫不畏懼。

Is this the world's thinnest building?|史上最薄建築?上海「紙片樓」


This house in Shanghai, China could possibly be the world’s thinnest building.

Located on Ningbo Road in the densely populated Chinese city, the home appears to be nothing more than a brick wall, extending down the road.

The house is part of a triangular shaped block, and at its point becomes so thin that residents cannot fit a chair in front of their windows.

在中國的這棟「紙片樓」,大概稱的上是「世界最薄建築」吧!

位於上海寧坡路,這一帶人口密集極高,這棟樓看起來幾乎只有磚牆,向下延伸到道路,其他好像什麼都沒有似的。
