Dec 18, 2008: Road of Death
Since we were duped by the Disney IotD I figured I would post early for tomorrow and throw up a collection of real pictures.
I was recently sent these via e-mail so first had to check here to see if they were posted before and second to figure out where they were from. It seems they have not been posted before but another Cellar Dweller did put up an old link that allowed me to confirm back story on these. Here is the old post that led me to the background. Link And now without further ado, here is the Bolivian Road of Death, North Yungas Road. Quote:

You know, some of those pictures look really squished in the horizontal direction. For example, with this picture, if you double the width and keep the height the same, the truck looks much more normal, but the hill doesn't look as steep.
It's still awesome. Just a little more realistic. |

Anyone ever think of introducing these people to the concept of tunnels?

Applying the same math to this image gives us this new look.

It's still scary, even with the correct aspect ratio.

That road is a LOT like the tiny, 2-lane, landslide-prone road from Taipei to Hualien...
![]() (you can see part of that road there, that liiiittle brown strip along the cliff.) and also a lot like the road through Taroko Gorge. (number 4!) ![]() ![]() eta: and yes, i've been down BOTH those roads. Well, not DOWN, but.. oh you know what i mean.

Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli, "I predict, Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease". Disraeli replied, "That all depends upon whether I embrace your principals or your mistress".
