Belgian Engineers Build Stairway to Heaven

New, 2 comments

Oooh, and it makes me wonder...

Belgian firm Close to Bone constructed this staircase into the sky in Flanders after the wooden observation tower that stood at the site was "burnt by vandals." Named the Vlooyberg Tower, the new structure is much less a tower than it is a giant staircase the ascends into nothingness—a stairway to Heaven, one might even say, if one were so inclined. No word on whether this stairway lies on the whispering wind.
