Long gone are the days of buying a throwaway camera, taking pictures, and then heading to a shop to have them developed. Now, within a second or two, you can take a picture and see the instant results. And if that wasn’t enough, along came the drone. With the power of professional aerial photographers and amateurs alike, we all began to see the world from a brand new perspective – and in the process, witness some totally unexpected things. These photos captured the attention of millions who couldn’t believe what they were seeing and blew everyone away.
No Dream Is Too High
This drone image can get your heart racing simply by looking at it! Well, imagine what it must feel like to take a walk along this path. One word of advice: don’t look down! With a temple waiting for people to arrive at its summit, the Tianmen Mountain is a staggering 5,000 feet high and can be found in China’s Hunan Province. Originally built using wooden planks, the pieces have since been replaced with glass.
That means that every so often people can get a very clear and terrifying look of that giant drop. For anyone not wanting to risk a loose plank under their feet, there’s also the option to take a cable car.
Take A Swim On The Wild Side
There are plenty of people who are happy to risk their lives while taking a walk on the wild side, but floating among an ocean full of sharks is a whole other level. The ocean is a fascinating place, that’s for sure, but no one can ever predict how a shark is going to act. Basking away in her starfish float position, this woman does not appear to be too distressed but rather relaxing and enjoying the sun.
Rumor has it, the women had no idea so many sharks had swarmed to her, and getting away was a rather tense situation.
Don’t Look Up From That Book
What is it with people being so comfortable with sharks, didn’t anyone watch the cult classic movie Jaws? Because that was enough to stop anyone from going into the water. Named due to their unique features, the hammerhead shark is known for moving around the ocean in mass groups of around one hundred creatures. And who knows how many others are on their way? It’s scary just how close these sharks can get!
Taking some alone time out on the ocean to relax and read her book, this woman was joined by a shark that was the same size as her board!
Not For The Faint Hearted
No matter how many ropes are attached to you, no one can ever be sure exactly how a climb like this one is going to go. Heading out for a lonesome climb, this adrenaline junkie found himself stuck in a rather unfortunate situation. Making it all the way up to this point, he noticed there were loose rocks above his head, and let’s face it, there’s no quick way down.
Found in Utah, this heart-pumping cliff-face is super popular with professional climbers.
