9/11

Pezenas

I want to dedicate this picture to all the victims of 9/11/2001
this is a strange coincidence...
this morning on 9/11/2010, I popped into Alain ROBERT, "spiderman", who is climbing the highest buildings in the world without assistance , bare handed...

Alain Robert on Wikipedia

Alain Robert's home page, where you can find plenty of videos...
He is such a nice person, full of humility...

Very cool shot. Yes, today was a reminder of a day I will never forget. Especially difficult when you have lost someone because of the terrorism. I'll have to check out this guy on Wikipedia.

I just watched the videos of this real life spiderman in action and just watching them puts a tremble of fear in me! Like many others I am terrified of heights. It's amazing how he climbs unassisted like that! Thanks for posting this. I never knew about this person until now.

Most people around the world will be thinking back to this day 2001, not only the victims of the tragedy itself but those who were, and still are, directly affected by it.
