Considered one of the most dangerous roads to drive on lol.

A road/tunnel very cheaply carved into the very edge of the mountain lol.

There are some other pics on the net of it. From road level, it looks mighty scary.

Reminds me a little of the roads around the Gorges Du Verdon in southern France but don't think it is! They are well worth a drive in your scoob if you ever get the chance, nice trip from the French Alps to Monte Carlo via the Gorges

It doesn't change what it stands for, but from a photography point of view it changes everything!

Of course it is staged just look at the picture!!! 4 blokes to push up a flag pole that size, lets for arguments sake say it was windy so took 4 strapping marines to raise, why is the flag not flapping in the strong wind?? but clearly as the flag is not flapping there is not a strong wind so 1) why is the flag infront of the pole that is being raised and 2) why is it taking 4 blokes????

Speaking of amazing images, I am guessing this is real but any idea where as it looks baffling!
