The big wall of China

 

The Great Wall of China is a series of fortifications made of stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials, generally built along an east-to-west line across the historical northern borders of China in part to protect the Chinese Empire or its prototypical states against intrusions by various nomadic groups or military incursions by various warlike peoples or forces. Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger, stronger, and unified are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains. Since then, the Great Wall has on and off been rebuilt, maintained, and enhanced; the majority of the existing wall was reconstructed during the Ming Dynasty

Socotra Alien Island Yemen

 Socotra has been described as one of the most alien-looking place on Earth, and it’s not hard to see why. It is very isolated with a harsh, dry climate and as a result a third of its plant-life is found nowhere else, including the famous Dragon’s Blood Tree, a very-unnatural looking umbrella-shaped tree which produces red sap. There are also a large number of birds, spiders and other animals native to the island, and coral reefs around it which similarly have a large number of endemic (i.e. only found there) species. Socotra is considered the most biodiverse place in the Arabian sea, and is a World Heritage Site.

Plitvice Lakes - National Park Unesco



Plitvice could be known as the Paradise of the water as it has 16 small lakes and multiple waterfalls and streams. Declared a Natural Park by the authorities of the former Yugoslavia in 1949, the Plitvice Lakes have been recognized by UNESCO as a nature reserve since 1979. 



  
 Waterfalls of Plitvice LakesThe Plitvice park has 30,000 acres of unspoiled nature. If you choose to visit during the week and first thing when the "population" of tourists is lower, the contemplation of the highest waterfall in the park, de76 meter free fall, or beech forests produce an effect of peace we can hardly reach tourists disturbing the silence.Plitvice is mostly beech (75%), pretty little fir and pine. In addition, yellow toads, a handful of lynx, deer andowls, all hidden from peaones dePlitvice.In panels Plitvice park entrance is the most frequent word travertine. It refers to the miracle that makes the moss rock is deposited as lime water and lime.The resulting 16 lakes are baptized according to the legends that have drowned in its waters. One is Lake of the Gypsy, the other that of the grandmother is also the Pastor of the Mile, and closer, the greatest of all, that of the Goats. It has 2.5 kilometers long, a distance more than reasonable to sink the optimism of 30 goats that relied too much on the strength of ice to escape the wolves. More prudently, today it is possible to cross by boat.Under these pools are also gems like the curious crayfish Astacus astacus, the material used to coat his shell limestone becoming more stone. And the Proteus, a rare salamander that lives only through these caves, without eyes and some pigmentation, color all flesh, as God brought the world.Plitvice was, according to old maps, "Devil's Garden". Today has regained its splendor of Eden, despite having become another hell during the war when Serb guerrillas kidnapped the park and even threatened to fly its lakes. Fortunately, the blood does not reach the river. Red has never been a dominant color palette showing the broad waters of Plitvice. The color of these lakes can go from gray Finnish mirror pond until the transparent turquoise Caribbean beach. The water changes color from hour to hour and from shore to shore. Everything depends on a thousand factors, including the amount of minerals and organisms of the deep, rain, moss or angle of light.
