Dubai can rightfully be called a city of skyscrapers. What is only the Burj Khalifa or the famous Burj Al Arab hotel? And besides them - many other buildings, the height of which reaches several hundred meters. Many people take breath away from such numbers, but Russian extreme photographer Vadim Makhorov manages not only to calmly walk on the rooftops of giants, but also to take amazing pictures.
The readers of the site Culturology. Ru have already seen pictures of the city of Dubai from a bird's eye view performed by the German photographer Sebastian Opitz. Now we have our own answer to Chamberlain: our Vadim Makhorov takes breathtaking photos at a great height. Thanks to his works, we can easily enjoy the panorama of the city at night, decorated with thousands of lights.
This is not the first time that Vadim Makhorov and a company of like-minded people have conquered skyscrapers, a trip to the United Arab Emirates was marked by a series of dizzying shots. Dubai attracted extreme children by the fact that there is a real expanse for Skywalking lovers, the skyscrapers are like a match - one higher than the other. True, sometimes you have to climb the buildings, breaking the rules, since the entrance to many of them is prohibited.
This spring Makhorov has already shocked everyone by conquering the Egyptian pyramids with a height of 481 meters in the company of two friends. Photos of the city of Giza, the necropolis of ancient Memphis, were actively replicated on the web. The guys managed to avoid meeting with the armed guards who guard the entrance to the pyramids. Vadim Makhorov himself then admitted that he was embarrassed to break the law, but he did not pursue the goal of offending anyone. In their exciting adventures, these guys follow their dreams, perhaps this alone is worthy of respect.
By the way, let us remind you that not so long ago we wrote about some more friends conquering skyscrapers, but not abroad, but in our native Moscow. Vitaly Raskalov and Alexander Remnev also managed to gain fame thanks to their desperate actions.
