View of Moscow at sunrise from the top of the Peter the Great monument, from a photo gallery on Der Speigel. Kids in Moscow are taking to climbing up onto some of its highest building, statues and construction sites, and are appropriately adored by the Russian media as "roofers." A law student, the young man who took the photo said that he discovered 'roofing' after doctors told him he could not play sports because of a weak heart. One of his photos was a winner "Best of Russia" photography contest in 2011.

The Chronicles in no way condones climbing up on structures so high they would scare your parents.
