Glamour doll the glamour doll :archivemessagehai mine hi im nadia and im actually a 40 year old man xoxo Older theme The Beauty Of Motherhood In The Animal Kingdom (23 Pics) - StumbleUpon August 9, 2011 | 32 Comments » | Topics: Pictures World's Best Ski Resorts Tons of white fluff, proper elevation, vast skiable area and plenty of lifts – these are the prerequisites. But an ideal ski vacation is as much about whizzing down well-groomed slopes as about enjoying oneself afterwards. When we speak of world's best ski resorts we mean places that combine excellent conditions, scenic routes, ample off-piste opportunities and a unique après-ski scene to give your sore body a little bit of pampering. Zermatt may be quite small but as the highest altitude snow sport location in the Alps, it is definitely one of Europe's premier ski resorts, with legendary slopes to schuss on all year round, amazing alpine vistas, comfy accommodation and brilliant cuisine to complete the picture. What adds to the experience is that Zermatt is a completely car-free village and there are few places in the world that can truly match its Après Ski splendor of 38 mountain restaurants, most of which offer unobstructed views of the sublime Matterhorn.

Amazing Cliffs of Norway: Adrenaline Junkies' Paradise [33 PICS] - StumbleUpon Preikestolen cliff goes by many names. The massive cliff is 604 meters (1982 feet) above Lysefjorden, Norway. Photo #1 by Arjan Veen Another name for Preikestolen is Pulpit Rock. The natural rock formation is a huge Norwegian tourist attraction. Rare sight to behold, an almost deserted Lysefjord – Preikestolen. Yet another name for Preikestolen cliff is “The Preacher’s Pulpit.” This spectacular scene is like a view from the top of the world. Cairn near The Preacher’s Pulpit aka Preikestolen. Here’s a little Preikestolen trivia. Some folks adore cliffs, like the owers of these two cool houses right outside Jøssingfjord in Norway. This crazy cliff is actually of rock that juts out horizontally from the mountain above Odda, Norway. The Norwegian word for this place is Trolltunga which means Troll’s Tongue. Yet another intense cliff is Brünnich’s Guillemot (Uria lomvia) at bird cliff of Stappen, southern Bjørnøya (Bear Island) in the Barents Sea. This is Troll wall in Norway.

World's Most Incredible Hot Springs Some of them invite to the bubbling pleasures of idle soaking, others had better not be approached too daringly. Whatever the case might be, the world's most incredible hot springs are virtually a feast for the senses, even if you only get to look at them from a distance. They tempt with scintillating colors, caress with steam and embrace with infinity. Here's 8 to fall in head over heels... literally or not. Pamukkale just couldn't have been named more aptly. There's nothing like a relaxing bath. Hostile forests, treacherous cliffs and boiling water that bubbles out of almost invisible cracks in the frozen ground have earned it the name “Hell's Valley”. Thousands of years of geological evolution have shaped this solitary land into a wonder beyond measure. There's a geothermal haven to be explored within the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, just 20 minutes drive south of Rotorua. Nothing describes this star attraction of Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin as accurately as its very name.

[ad700] [ad1] [ad2] Ads by Google Flowery Destinations It doesn't take Van Goghian imagination to appreciate the beauty of a sunflower. Although they're hardly ever destinations in themselves, the fields of soothing lavender, rows of mind-stirring tulips and meadows sprinkled with wild daisies are ready to put on a brilliant show for your color-thirsty eyes. Just turn on your romantic radar, get off the beaten path and go search for the flower power. Here's a handful of ideas to get you started: The sight of the endless ribbons of lavender itself attracts thousands of visitors to Provence every year. But then the charm of Provence is not its flowers alone. Somewhere between Ferrassières and Revest-du-Bion. Poppies near St Pau de Tricastin, Daufinat. Bounce Holland off of people and the second association you get is tulips (right after Amsterdam and its Red Light District). Happy spring colors north of Alkmaar. The ability to see a heaven in a wild flower is a grand sign of innocence. Fields of red in Namaqualand National Park.
