15 Amazing Castles from Around the Globe - StumbleUpon

Although designed and built for the prominent purpose of defense, today the castles seem like somewhat unrealistic constructions straight from the fairytale world. From solid strongholds to oriental fortresses and highly decorative palaces, the castles are our connection to the past, where legends mix with history and reality blends with a fairyland. This fairytale castle is the historical seat of the Prussian Kings and German Emperors. http://opentravel.com/blogs/15-amazing-castles-from-around-the-globe/

The living root bridges of India | MNN - Mother Nature Network

http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/stories/the-living-root-bridges-of-india When it comes to building green, nothing may be closer to the embodiment of the term than using materials that are actually still alive.

Timpanogos Waterfalls - 360 Degree Panorama - Foto 360 - StumbleUpon

Mt. Timpanogos in Utah's Uinta National Forest is perhaps the most popular hiking destination in the state. It's the second tallest peak in the Wasatch Mountain Range. This waterfall, near the base of the mountain, is supplied by snowfields beneath the 11,749 ft. (3582 m) peak. The exposed rock of the summit is limestone and dolomite, about 300 million years old. http://www.utah3d.net/utah-travel/wasatch-mountains/timpanogos-waterfall.html
