Yes! Corrugated metal is a common building material, and they do amazing things with it.

Artists are many in the town, and it is a joy to stroll through. Amazing stuff!

The final yards to the top of the Hollywood Sign, above Los Angeles, are steep but worth the effort. Those tall buildings are part of Century City, which include the Nakatomi Building, from the original Die Hard movie. Those two cyclists are both well over 50.

Santiago Chile ... they close down several main streets to motor vechicles every Sunday until 2PM. And boy, do the Chileans take advantage of it.

Maybe because it appears to be way too close and possibly a violation of FAA regs.

Thank you for this, and congratulations to whomever took it.

I don't know what the regulations are but it sure scared the crap out of me watching a plane heading towards our plane at 600mph

If I'm not mistaken, it's 1,000 ft in elevation and 3 miles latterly.
