Where: Fort Bourtange, Holland
Don’t worry, you’re not looking at the home of a modern day dictator. Fort Bourtange in the Netherlands was built by long-gone William the Silent all the way back in the late 16th century. Originally it was meant to control the road between Germany and Spain controlled Groningen. It was eventually turned into a village in 1851 and now acts as a historical museum. Thanks to this picture taken by Amos Chapple, we all get to marvel at its beauty.

A Careless Fella
Where: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Details: Standing at over 1,250 feet, this man decided to climb the summit of the Morro dos Cabritos – he sure has heart!
If you’re going to be walking across a tightrope on any skyline in the world, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil should be one of the potential areas on your list. Known for its illustrious beachfront and beautiful skyline, the man in this picture felt so strongly about this that he decided to do so. As the picture shows, he was suspended over 1250 feet in the air after climbing the summit of the Morro dos Cabritos. We can only hope he made it safely to the other side.
