Glass Bottom Bridges And balconies

 Madeira

I went to the glass floor lookout point in Madeira. It was at the end of an interesting shopping and snack complex and we stopped there on an island tour. 

Our stop was brief. Just time to step out and take a quick hoto. It was hard to get the perspectiveof the balcony and the area below, especially with others trying to cross or take a photo.

The Chinese versions of the glass floor are not just balconies, viewpoints, but long bridges. 

My friend Samantha from Toastmters Internaitonal in Singapore put a series of stunning photo on Facebook showing hersssssself in assorted dramatic poses. Some looked like she wassidewayor upside down. What a great photo opportunity. I thought I would check were was the bridge, then found China had several of them. Here are some picures of the best.

America has one over the Grand Canyon, Madeira has one, Spain has one. Chine has several.

An overhead crosswalk on Orchand Road near Smerset station MRT has a partially visible glass floor.

Grand Canyon Skywalk

Lookout point, USA. Grand Canyon. According to one account, you have to leave your cameras behind and buy photos. 

If you cannot get near these exciting views, many glass sided lifts on the outides of buildings such as shopping malls and hotels offer a thrill.
