Located in China’s Tianmen Mountain National Park , the translucent floor sits at a vertigo inducing height of 4691 feet, giving visitors a spectacular view below their feet. The path winds around the mountain for nearly 200 feet and as you can see in the video below, it features a red carpet treatment on each visit. Not for the faint of heart. [Read more...]

These minimalist movie posters have such elegant continuity of design, leaving much to the imagination while also being easily recognizable.
