I feel sick even just by looking at these photographs.

I was going to start a thread on the subject of why so often only the "classic" or "master" photographers get discussed at apug ... rocks and trees and street ... and then you confound me with this thread Clive.
well done!

I guess this answers the question of whether its all been done. It triggers my acrophobia though.

Looking through some of the rest of her work, I found it a little depressing. Which in itself is odd. Why would someone half out of a window, or sat on a ledge at the top of a building evoke a different reaction than watching someone free-climb a building?

I don't think I will be emulating her!

Because one is going up and the other can only go down.

There's that. But she could convey achievement in being so high. I don't get that at all. Of course, when I'm looking over views like that, I am not considering the fastest and most direct route down

These are quite striking images, I feel queasy just looking, can't help think about the poor soul who opened an umbrella while sitting on the guardrail in Niagara Falls recently , blow into the falls.

When I was younger I had no fear of heights, now its a different story.
