The Balancing Pagodaof Myanmar



In Myanmar (or as many people still know it, Burma) sits this pagoda on top of a rock that is completely gilded in gold. This in itself is not what makes this spectacular -- rather it is the fact that the rock balances on the precipice of the cliff with a contact patch that is incredibly small, as this blog post shows, along with links to more photos, and even one from 1912.
