Golden sunset view of the Italian Dolomites
The prefix "Dolomites" is in honor of the French scientist Deode de Dolomieux, who in the second half of the XVIII century conducted geological studies of the rocks of this section of the Alps.
He found that the structure of the mountains consists of limestone and a mineral, which, in honor of its discoverer and researcher, was given the name "dolomite".
Brazil 🇧🇷
The Rocinha Favela is located on several slopes near the Atlantic Ocean. Local residents have been building up the slopes with houses made of improvised materials for several decades.
According to various estimates, from 100 to 300 thousand people live in the Rocinha favela, no one knows the exact data. This is the largest favela in Brazil and it is located almost in the very center of Rio de Janeiro.
It's an impressive sight, if you don't think about how people live in them...(

India 🇮🇳
A quiet evening in Delhi
Delhi is one of the largest cities in the world, almost thirty million people live here.
Delhi is a very green city – almost twenty percent of its area is covered with forests and parks.
However, Delhi is the most polluted capital in the world. Because of the huge amount of transport, smoky smog constantly hangs over the city.
Maldives 🇲🇻
A unique experience that you can get in the Maldives is swimming with nurse sharks.
These are large predators that hunt at night, and during the day they are quite peaceful creatures that bite only if they feel threatened.
If you decide to swim with them, it is important not to make too sudden movements so as not to frighten them and provoke aggression.
USA 🇺🇸, McWay Falls
McWay Falls is located in Julia-Pfeiffer-Burns State Park in California.
Its height is 24 meters. Initially, its waters fell directly into the ocean, but after landslides, McWay "meets" the ocean only at high tide. The rest of the time, the water "catches up" with the ocean along a small strip of sandy beach.
The latter is difficult to reach for hikers, but you can easily get there by boat.
Iceland 🇮🇸
Good morning from Iceland 🦭
The glacial lagoon of Jokulsarlon (Jökulsárlón) is one of the business cards of Iceland.
Norway 🇳🇴
The top of the Reinebringen Mountain is one of the most popular places on the Lofoten Islands. It is from here that most of the "classic" panoramic photos of Lofotens were taken with views of the archipelago, the fishing harbor, mountain lakes, the Rheinefjord and the picturesque town of Rheine.
Rheinebringen has several peaks, and "panoramic" is not the highest of them. The final point of the route is at a relatively low altitude of 448 meters, but because of the steep ascent, the ascent does not seem like an easy walk.
Georgia 🇬🇪
Rabat Fortress is one of the most beautiful and largest medieval fortresses on the territory of Georgia. The fortress is divided into two parts with a total area of more than 7 hectares: historical and new.

The Milky Way ✨
An impressive video of the Milky Way taken from the island of Oahu, Hawaii 😍
Denmark, Greenland
An exciting sight is the overturning of an iceberg in the waters of the world's largest Scoresby Fjord.
The fjord is located on the eastern part of Greenland. Its length is 350 km, the depth reaches 1450 meters. Scoresby is covered with ice from October to June.
Switzerland 🇨🇭
In the very center of Switzerland, a miracle of technology that has broken a world record works for tourists: an innovative funicular with the greatest steepness of slope in the world connects Schwyz with the ski resort of Stos.
Since its opening in December 2017, this funicular has been a real magnet for countless tourists from various countries. The funicular is truly unique: its cabins are perfectly adapted for a comfortable climb up an extremely steep slope, and passengers maintain an upright position at any time.
To overcome the slope up to 110 percent (47 degrees) is a serious achievement! The small Alpine village of Stos in the mountains of Central Switzerland lies at an altitude of about 1300 meters above sea level.
Italy 🇮🇹, Rome, Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli
Baroque Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli erected in 1662-1667 to store the venerated icon of the Mother of God, considered miraculous. The icon is called Santa Maria in Portico (St. Mary in the portico), dates from the 11th century and is made in a rare enamel technique for Rome.
The Romans prayed to this icon for salvation from the plague. When in 1656 a particularly terrible plague epidemic that struck Rome began to wane, grateful citizens decided to build a new church for the icon.
The miraculous icon is placed above the main altar of the church, and is surrounded by a magnificent gilded frame with twisted columns (photo 2), made by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi and Ercole Ferrata.
Thailand 🇹🇭
Pileh Lagoon is a mandatory point of the route on excursions to the Phi Phi archipelago.
Pileh Lagoon is the deepest lagoon in Thailand, formed as a result of a fracture of the earth's crust. Thanks to the limestone rocks at the bottom, the color of the water is simply unrealistically beautiful, as if you are looking through a Photoshop filter.
Thais believe that bathing in this lagoon has a rejuvenating effect, thanks to the composition of the water. It is saltier here than in the Andaman Sea.
Much like its Japanese counterpart, the Siberian Cherry Blossom symbolizes the transient nature of life, renewal, and the beauty found in fleeting moments
