A Latvian billionaire implemented a fantastic project nearby Cēsis town in Latvia. If you’ve believed there is no Sun City, only Sin City, now you can see that you’ve been totally wrong. There people live according to special rules and have a routine different from those of common human beings. The three-storey houses are constructed of green materials and are located on various height so that the dwellers don’t see other houses from the windows of their own. If you want to live in a hobbit hut, you know now where to head.

Real-life Spiderman Jyothi Raj seems to be glued to the wall with his amazing ability to hang upside down on a vertical surface without using safety equipment.

These pictures show why the former construction worker has been favourably compared to the comic book hero.

The 22-year-old, who lives in the south of India, discovered his incredible climbing ability four years ago while scaling bamboo scaffolding widely used in the sub-continent.

Jyothi realized that he had an uncanny ability to place his hands and feet in exactly the right areas for a speedy climb.

Climbing the local fort in Chitradurga, Jyothi claims he feels no fear as he reaches heights of up to 300ft without using a harness.
