Princess Juliana Internation Airport

Princess Juliana International Airport in the Dutch part of the island of Saint Martin. It is the second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean. The airport is famous for its short landing strip — only 2,180 metres/7,152 ft, which is barely enough for heavy jets. Because of this, the planes approach the island flying extremely low, right over Maho Beach. Countless photos of large jets flying at 10–20 m/30-60 ft over relaxing tourists at the beach have been dismissed as fakes many times, but arenevertheless real. For this reason as well it has become a favourite for planespotters. Despite the difficulties in approach, there has been no records of major aviation incidents at the airport.

Driving - Nightmares versus Beauty

Was this done just for the view...? 

Driving over then under the water... Japan 
 

And if this guy meets another bus going the other way...? 

Up, up, up and away... 

 A couple more pics of the same bridge... 

Another way to elevate travelers in a short distance... 

 I've heard of wiggly roads before but this one takes the cake...!
Actually, it looks like fun! 
 

And even more fun at night...? 



THE MILLAU VIADUCT is part of the new E11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and
features the highest bridge piers ever constructed.

The tallest is 240 meters high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters,

making this the highest bridge in the world.
