Old Harry Rocks
in Dorset. Path with a steep drop on either side. It looks so inviting that you start to waltz out before realizing that you forgot your balancing pole.

The ring of traffic which used to guard Trafalgar Square from errant pedestrians. This particular stretch is now pedestrianized.

Alternate title: Vertical Limit
Herewith photos from my excursion down the side of a Docklands skyscratcher in a window cleaner's cradle. The first time we achieved liftoff

I couldn't go through with it and had to be set back down on the roof. 2nd attempt worked after I slumped on the floor with my eyes closed and thought nice thoughts as we eased over the edge. After awhile I found my feet, at least temporarily (see 'making a stand', below, for my companion's reaction). The floor always felt safer.
