A Taiwanese county has built an enormous glass shoe as a tribute to local women who suffered from a debilitating foot disease.
Completed last month, the transparent 55ft tall structure in Chiayi county in the south-west of the island has already attracted large numbers of visitors even before it officially opens in two weeks.
Intended for use as a wedding hall and tourist attraction, the shoe honours women who suffered in the past from arsenic poisoning from well water that caused gangrene, a condition sometimes known as black feet disease.
