I don't know where these are from but they sure are ample.

Titicaca

 

:P

 

What am I thinking? That’s a lake. The ampleness confused me. Typical :P

 

Upon further reflection, I think this must be Xanadu.

 

To break my fast on honey dew

And drink the milk of paradise

Aerial view of the Murray River in Kingston-on-Murray, Australia

 

This scenic bend is just a small section of Australia’s longest river. It’s a major waterway in a continent known more for vast stretches of arid outback and treeless plains. Flowing for more than 1,500 miles from its headwaters in the Australian Alps to its mouth near Goolwa on the Southern Ocean, the river serves myriad purposes—irrigating crops, filling reservoirs, and sustaining a unique ecosystem.

 

Keeping the Murray River region well-irrigated is important, as it’s considered the ‘food bowl’ of the nation. But diverting all this water has endangered some of the river’s endemic species, including the Murray cod, one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. Scientists are exploring ways to ensure that the Murray continues as a source of life for both human, and non-human, residents.

Golden Bridge - Da Nang, Vietnam

 

Located in the Bà Nà Hills of central Vietnam, Cau Vang, or the Golden Bridge, is a 490-foot-long pedestrian bridge and scenic overlook. The bridge, which sits 3,200 feet above sea level, opened in June 2018, and photos of the one-of-a-kind structure instantly went viral.

 

Not only is the bridge impressively located high above the trees, but the walkway appears to be held up by two massive stone hands. The area around the bridge, formerly the site of an American army base, has been a tourist attraction for decades, replete with a cable car, gardens, replica French medieval village and wax museum. Now, thanks to this striking bridge, it’s become an even more popular spot.

Here's one they put up last year. You can tell it's British by the poor design and shoddy workmanship.

Desert rose of Qatar

 

International Museum Day brings us to Qatar, a small but wealthy nation on the Arabian Peninsula, surrounded by the waters of the Persian Gulf and bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south. In the capital city of Doha you'll find its national museum, shown here, which opened in March 2019. This elaborate building was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, who sourced his inspiration from the desert rose crystal. Look closely and amid the futuristic interlocking disks of the new museum you'll see the early 20th-century Old Amiri Palace, once home of the Emir of Qatar, surrounded by a courtyard of palm trees.
