2. The world has a lot of
different people,
cultures, nations and all
of them have
something interesting
to show you…
Here are some of the
most interesting places
around the world.
Some of them may be
made by nature, some
by people, some may
be frightful, some
amazing…

3. Horsetail Fall
(Yosemite)
Horsetail Fall
• Located in Yosemite National
Park in California
• is a seasonal waterfall that
flows in the winter and early
spring
• The fall occurs on the east side
of El Captain If Horsetail
• The setting sun illuminates the
waterfall, making it glow orange
and red. This natural
phenomenon is referred to as
the "Firefall" .

4. Giant's
Causeway
•The Giant's
Causeway is an area of
about 40,000 interlocking
basalt columns, the result
of an ancient
volcanic eruption.
•According to a legend
the causeway was built
by a giant.

5. Stonehenge

Wiltshire, England.
•Is the remains of a ring
of standing stones set

7. The wonderful dome
of the rock (Dome of
the Rock) from the VII
century
The Wailing Wall

8. The Easter Island
There are many things that make Easter Island fascinating, but the
biggest is its mystery. Easter Island is a near total enigma, a ghost town
of epic proportions, an entire culture vanished almost without a trace,
leaving us nothing but the countless giant stone sculptures known as
Moai and a lot of questions about why and how this mass extinction
occurred.

9. Easter Island
What makes this more question-raising
is the fact that even today the Moai
“factory” at the volcanic site seems to
have been abandoned suddenly, with
works in various stages of progress, as if
everyone on the island just upped and
vanished.
What remains is a ghostly testament to
a mystery that will probably never be
answered, but it is also a place of
incredible beauty. The island sits in the
Pacific and is ringed with dramatic cliffs
and rocky coast, and has an incredible
fantasy volcano filled with a lagoon
whose rim you can hike around. There
are plenty of trails and scenery, and
then of course there are the Moai.

10. The Crooked
Forest
•A grove of oddly-
shaped pine trees located
in West-Pomerania , Poland.
•400 pines
•planted around 1930, when its
location was still within
the German province
of Pomerania
• It is generally believed that some
form of human tool or technique
was used to make the trees grow
this way, but the method and
motive are not currently known.
• It has been speculated that the
trees may have been deformed to
create naturally curved timber for
use in furniture or boat building

11. The Magnetic Hill
• An example of a gravity hill,
a type of optical
illusion created by rising and
descending terrain.
• Located in
the Canadian province
of New Brunswick .
• To experience Magnetic Hill
today, drivers must pay a fee
to drive their cars to the end
of the road
• When a car is placed in
neutral, it will begin to roll
backwards, apparently
uphill. Observers will also
note that water in the
adjacent drainage ditches
also seemingly runs “uphill.”
