Glass Beach – The Dump You’ll Want to Visit
Before you say anything about the content of this article, I hate people who litter. I’ll judge you if I think you’re too lazy to recycle. I hate pollution and the death of our fragile ecosystems and all the rest. But- with that disclaimer out of the way- Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California is the incredible result of human wastefulness and the resilience of nature. I’ve been trolling around for lesser known landscapes to road trip to and explore, and stumbled across this chunk of multicoloured west coast paradise.

A long time ago, herds of pronghorn antelope roamed freely in Antelope Canyon, which explains the canyon's English name. It is not known exactly when people first discovered Antelope Canyon. According to local Navajos, who have lived here for some time, the canyon and the LeChee area were places where cattle grazed in winter. To older Navajos, entering a place like Antelope Canyon was like entering a cathedral. They would probably pause before going in, to be in the right frame of mind and prepare for protection and respect. This would also allow them to leave with an uplifted feeling of what Mother Nature has to offer, and to be in harmony with something greater than themselves.
McAdenville, N.C.: Christmas Town, USA - Holiday Decorations: The Most Christmas-Loving U.S. Towns

More than 200 wreaths are fastened to lampposts throughout town; a life-size Nativity set, as well as a display of Santa and his reindeer, add hints of small-town charm; and the lake's fountain gleams under a colorful light show while the sounds of Christmas carols chime from a nearby church. It's a complete Christmas experience that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
In recent years, Croatia has changed from a relative unknown to one of the trendiest destinations in Europe . To a great extent this is due to the country's rocky littoral, which, washed by the Adriatic, is considered one of the most beautiful of the Mediterranean coastlines. Then there is the rich history and cultural heritage of medieval towns such as Dubrovnik, Split and Sibenik. But the well-deserved popularity also depends on the protected natural areas, which make up some ten per cent of the country's area . Eight areas enjoy national park status – a very high number for a relatively small country.

Scouting NY
Sure, Duane Reade already has the Halloween decorations out, but there are still a few weeks left to summer yet, and plenty of time to clock in at least one or two more summer reads. If you happen to be looking for a last minute recommendation, and have ever been curious how movies actually get made, here are a few that won’t disappoint. I’m a huge fan of behind-the-scenes filmmaking books, the kind that were written free from studio control, and each of the following will show you everything: from the first words put to a script page to the first ticket sold at the box office, sweat and blood, egos and bigger egos, warts and all. Some of the movies were hits; some were disasters.Documents Templates
The Most Beautiful Place to Travel To - travel.FeedBox.info
Hamilton Pool Nature Preserve (Dripping Springs, 37 miles on Highway 71 west of Austin, Texas) is one of the most beautiful places in the world. A subterranean lake coming to the surface from under the stone arch grotto is complemented with a waterfall. The lake was formed as a result of the collapse of a limestone dome over an underground river because of massive erosion. After heavy rains water falls from the edge of the cave, 14 meters high. The underground river flows into the nearby Pedernales river, which in turn is a tributary of Colorado.

The Allies built Devil’s Mountain from about 400,000 buildings that were reduced to rubble during the 20 years after Berlin was rebuilt. The Teufelsberg Towers stand over 262 feet (80 meters) tall. The former U.S. listening station which sits atop Devil’s Mountain was referred to as “The Hill” by American soldiers, spooks and their Allies.
