This is the Capilano suspension bridge. You can find it in North Vancouver, Canada, as 800,000 other people do each year to walk across a thin swaying path that leads through the high canopy of the forest. Please don’t jump up and down on the bridge.

The new Red Bull Amsterdam headquarters is a crazy mixture of art and architecture. Designed and constructed by Sid Lee Architecture, once you enter you might not want to leave.

The water comes just to the edge of this interesting bridge. It’s located at the Dutch Fort de Roovere. They wanted to let tourists enter the fort and learn of its history, but there was a problem. The giant moat surrounding the fort would prove difficult to cross. Especially if they still keep man-eating crocodiles [...]
