These astonishing photos were taken by a self-proclaimed ‘Crazy Russian’ named Alexander Remnev and his intrepid group of high-rise thrill seekers on their recent visit to Dubai. The nineteen year old photographer likes to hang out in very high places so he and his group of venturous daredevils decided to travel from Russia to Dubai in order to see what types of heights they could reach in the massive towers of that city.
Among the skyscrapers they climbed to take extremely dangerous looking selfies was the Dubai’s Princess Tower, ranked as the world’s tallest residential building and rising a nerve-wracking 1,350 feet high above the street level. The interesting thing about Alexander and his adventurous group is that none of them even look scared in the breath-taking photos as they are all seen fearlessly enjoying themselves, situated extremely high above the city that is seen shockingly far below them…
It looks pretty foolhardy but the view is truly spectacular.

Is this guy completely insane?!

This photograph is certainly very striking. Early evening in Dubai. I guess she just isn’t afraid of heights…

It seems that he couldn’t get high enough so he decided to climb onto the very top of this skyscraper and just straddle the pinnacle.

This thrill seeking photographer was able to capture some really unbelievable visual images.

Remnev recently told Caters News Agency that “We love the height of Dubai – it is a city of skyscrapers. We climbed on top of as many as we could. After this trip, buildings in Russia seem very small…”

Alexander and his band of extreme daredevils just can’t seem to get close enough to the edge. I just hope they are more careful than these photos look…

The thrill seeking photos may induce more than a slight vertigo in viewers, but they definitely rock!
