Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge — Japan

How do you build a bridge on a mountainside when the grade is so steep that a linear ramp isn’t possible? Build a loop, and if one is not enough, build two. This is what engineers did when the built the Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge, also known as the Japanese Double loop spiral, in Kawazu, Japan. This double spiral brings cars up and down a full 45 meters while being seemingly suspended in a valley between two mountainsides. The spirals measure 80m in diameter and the whole ramp section is 1.1km long.

The bridge on Highway 414 between Tokyo and the Izu peninsular was finished in 1982 and has become a well known landmark since

Shocking Lip Makeup Looks Like a Hungry Eye

You might be thinking, "Is that an eye with some sort of trippy contact lens or lips with some clever makeup?" If you guessed the latter, you'd be correct! Swedish makeup enthusiast Sandra Holmbom, aka psychosandra, created this wildly illusionary look for her lips, mimicking an eye.

From the intricately designed iris to the delicately applied eyelashes, the makeup artist has meticulously created a third eye on her face in a most creative and unexpected way. The slight part in her mouth adds to the mind-boggling effect that causes one to do double-take. While the artist has created a visually stunning effect with great attention to detail, Holmbom admits that she just wanted to do something weird and adds, "Pretty, it's not, but I had fun anyway.

Bicycle Chain Sculptures of Meditative Faces

Korean artist Young-Deok Seo never ceases to amaze us with his skilled ability to turn ordinary bicycle chains into extraordinary figurative sculptures. Through his construction the artist continues to comment on man's disintegration into a mechanical universe by using a cold, hard material. Using the human form as his template, the accomplished sculptor mimics the intricate shape and curves of the human face, deep in thought, for his Meditation series.

Each of his figurative creations for this collection depicts a unique face in a moment of serene meditation. The intricately detailed visage of each large-scale structure is both meticulously sculpted and intriguingly fragmented. The disembodied heads are visually perceived as one entity despite the spaces purposely left between each chain link. From a distance, one sees only the perfect silhouette of the faces, but upon closer inspection the viewer is able to notice the textured and fragmented imperfections.
