Cliff-hanging architecture: great photos of vertigo-inducing monasteries in the mountains of Asia. These kinds of places were clearly the inspiration for the monastery in the EXCELLENT movie Black Narcissus (1947), though that one was shot completely on a sound stage. (Scroll down for a shot of the monastery in the film.)

I luuuuurve Black Narcissus. Couldn't believe that it wasn't shot at least partially there. God, that's a gorgeous movie.
