Health & Safety (explored 16/03/14)
On a visit to the yellow mountain (Huang Shan) in China, I was blown away by how little health and safety there was. Coming from England, where health&safety is a belittled national institution, the contrast was remarkable, and refreshingly liberating. Here I was, free as anything to sit on the edge of a 1860m cliff and peer down.
Needless to say, when I emailed this picture to the family back home it didn't allay their fears for my safety.
Mostly however, Huangshan has many barriers and it is not as bad as the infamous mountain Huashan, whereby people can pay to walk along boards nailed to the cliffside (see video www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsGC0lZ-5g8)
The beauty there was remarkable (see my set named China for more pictures) and I would highly recommend a visit..... if you don't mind climbing a few steps that is!

Hope you like my photos, and thank you so much to everyone who comments, or favorites them!
If you like, you can order prints from them from my website:
