Walking on water is a childhood dream for a lot of us. In this endeavour, mankind has constantly made attempts to make this a reality. Artists and engineers in Italy have joined hands to build a similar pier on a lake in Italy. Built on Lake Iseo and designed by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, you can expect 3 km of 200,000 high-density polyethylene cubes, where you will be able to walk from Sulzano to Monte Isola and to the island of San Paolo.
Here are few breathtaking images from this venture:
“Look Dad! I’m walking on water.”

The piers are covered to prevent slippery surfaces.

These blocks are then dropped into the sea by a helicopter.
