And You Think Your Street is Steep

Posted in Just for Fun by Karen Rhodes on May 7th, 2007

When I first saw this photo I thought it must be photo shopped.  But it’s not!

Balwin St

 

It’s a street in Dunedin New Zealand named Baldwin St.  It’s in the Guinness Book of Records as the steepest street in the world with a 35% grade.  The photo above was taken with the camera slanted to make the street appear level.  This photo was taken showing the actual grade of the street

I’m out of breath just thinking about walking up it!

All the details and some other photos are on Wikipedia.
