Greenpeace on the bridge strings!

.
NEWS FLASH!
I just saw on the TV news how Greenpeace activists climbed 50 meters up the strings of our Calatrava Bridge of Strings today!
Wish I had known sooner, would have gone in to Jerusalem to see.

From Wall Photos album of Facebook group Greenpeace Mediterranean - Israel
.
Five of them unfurled a giant sign saying
"Bibi, stop [the building of] the coal-fired power plant!"
.
According to the AP, the action took six hours and the sign stayed up for forty minutes.
The young male and female climbers were not arrested.
.
You can see exciting photos in several of their Facebook albums.
They just put up a video too!

  3. Really spectacular. In a smaller perspective, it reminds me of the climbing, in the mountain village of Bardonecchia, of the parish church bell tower at Ferragosto (August 15th).

  6. They have a lot of work to do in China, but I see they still prefer places where they aren't beaten or arrested.
