Picture of the Day: The Edge of Insanity
The photograph was taken well above the observation deck (located on the 124th floor, 820m), this is literally the highest point on the planet a person can be, on a man-made structure.

Joe McNally’s career has spanned over 30 years with assignments in over 50 countries. He has shot cover stories for TIME, Newsweek, Fortune and The New York Times; been a contract photographer for Sports Illustrated, a staff photographer at LIFE and a 23-year (still ongoing) contributor to National Geographic.

At 829.9 meters (2,722 ft), the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is the tallest man-made structure in the world.

Picture of the Day: The Studley Tool Chest

Master craftsman Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) was an organ and piano maker, carpenter, and mason. He is best known for building this incredible tool chest during his tenure at the Poole Piano Company in Massachusetts, working on it over the course of 30 years. Using ebony, mother-of-pearl, ivory, rosewood, and mahogany – all materials used in the manufacture of pianos – he refined the chest to the point that, even now in the 21st century, it is still in a class by itself.
