If you thought planking was a fad to be reckoned with, take a look at this new photographic trend popular amongst Russian teens. It's called skywalking, and it's when a photographer climbs his or her way up to nausea-inducing heights atop a series of structures, stands on its very edge, and snaps a photo of the view down. Skyscrapers, electrical towers, monuments -- if it's tall and dangerous looking, teens in Russia are climbing it to capture some breathtaking shots.
To top it off, the thrill-seeking photographers seem to be working without any safety equipment whatsoever. But they must be enjoying it, because tons of these photos have been hitting the internet in the past few days.
