Today’s "Cool Photo of the Week" is a footbridge in Kakum National Park in Ghana (Africa). Visitors to the rainforest walk across this bridge to take a close look at life in the canopy - both plants and animals.

You need to be a brave explorer to cross this bridge, though. While there are hand rails and net walls on either side of you, you are putting one foot in front of the other, walking on a single plank that is just one foot (1/3  meter) wide. And, you’re a sky high 100 feet (30 meters) off the forest floor!

 

I’m not a big fan of heights; I probably wouldn’t walk across this bridge. Would you want to try?
