Whatto! Pepys...
If you fear the sight of a well toned naked man climbing buildings in London - look away now!
For this is a story of courage defiance and supreme skills.
It began when free running world champion Tim Shieff stripped off for an adventure and ended in this series of naked photographs of him climbing across buildings in central London.
The parkour athlete came up with the idea after holding a similar shoot in Greece.
It took place over four days last November and fellow free running expert Jason Paul took the pictures.
'These shots would not have been possible for a normal photographer,' Mr Shieff, 26, said.
This is because the intrepid photographer too had to clambour up adjoining buildings to keep up with Shieff and get the desired angle for these amazing pics.
Shieff is a close friend of the Naked chef Jamie Oliver and the prints will be sold to raise money for Jamie Oliver's Food Foundation charity. A proportion of the money will go towards the TV chef's charity for disadvantaged children.
Mr Shieff regularly appears on the chef's YouTube channel as he is a leading figure in the vegan and raw food movements
Eight of the staggering images, costing between £100 and £600, can be bought as limited edition prints from www.beautifulcrime.com.
Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel
