With My Fear Of Heights,

this is a job I would let pass me by,


an everyday job for construction workers on the south side of the Yangtze River would leave me clinging to the nearest thing that did not move, eyes shut tight, but for these engineers working more than 270 meters (885ft) high in Tongling city, East China's Anhui it looks like a stroll in the park, the men are working on one of 1,421 electricity pylons that will stretch from Huainan, Anhui province to Shanghai, some 268 miles, in case you are wondering the pylon is the equivalent height of a 90-storey building, the tallest UK's pylons are a mere 164ft, I do not know how much they are paid, but for me I could not think of a figure with enough zero's behind it to get me up there!
