Russians don’t do regular selfies. In fact, there is a new trend that has their youth putting themselves in dangerous situations by climbing the highest rooftops, skyscrapers, and structures to get the best pic to share on their Instagram accounts.
Angela and her boyfriend Ivan Beerkus climbed 2,000 feet upwards on a rickety crane overlooking Tianjin, China, just to say that they did. They were sent by Travel Ticker to the location because it’s the tallest construction site in the world, the Goldin Finance 117 building. Somehow, they managed to climb to the top without getting caught, fined, or arrested, so only one question remains: Did the risk of plummeting to their untimely deaths bring these two closer together? We’re not sure, but we do know that you have got to see the video below.
For the 23-year-old, she is not satisfied with looking pretty in her pics. Nikolau will often practice her yoga moves or sunbathe high in the sky while she uses a selfie stick to freeze a moment of her epic experience. This daredevil knows a picture is worth a thousand words.
Please note as cool as these images are, do not try these yourselves.
Angela is a self-taught photographer. She has over 127,000 followers on Instagram.
The motto for this Moscow based daredevil is, “No limit, no control.”
Angela is literally hundreds of feet above ground in her photos.
She often writes inspirational words that accompany breathtaking photos.
Angela is part of the roofing movement in Russia.
Roofing or rooftopping is when men and women get as close to the edge on the highest point of a skyscraper to take a photo.
“My life will never be the same again,” wrote Angela about one of her epic climbs.
For some of her photos, seeing the city’s landscape in the background is not enough.
Sharing a passionate kiss while lying down on the edge of a concrete building.
Angela will work with other daredevils to help her get a full photo of herself while overlooking the city she’s at.
