Beautiful Waterfalls in The World
Beautiful Waterfalls in The World
Niagra falls
Niagara may come from the old Iroquois word for the river – Onguiaahra – “The Strait”, and the Horseshoe Falls are reputed to hide the spirit of He-No, the Iroquois thunder god. Though they are truly massive in size, a mere 6,000,000 cubic feet of water flow every 60 seconds, rather less than the Victoria falls. When you stand before one of the most awe-inspiring features of the natural world, the beautiful giant waterfall, you cannot help but admire the raw power and beauty that steals your breath away. The continuously dancing rainbows ithe water droplets just adds to the magic, and the mightier the roar of cascading water, the greater the thrill.

Beautiful Gardens From Around The World (1)
Beautiful Gardens From Around The World (1)
Park Güell , Barcelona , Spain
Park Güell , Barcelona , Spain
Park Güell was commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy.The park contains amazing stone structures (see below), stunning tiling and fascinating buildings. You can see from this picture the Gaudí dragon fountain that is at the entrance to Güell park. This dragon is adorned in beautiful coloured tiling and there is something rather hypnotic and magical about it.Here you can see a walkway supported by twisting rock pillars that seem to be growing out of the ground like tree trunks. Although these are rather irregular in shape they do feel strangely natural too.Gaudí was strongly influenced by natural shapes and used them in his work.At the top of Güell park is a terraced area where you get a wonderful view of the park and of Barcelona City. Here you will find multi-coloured tiled mosaic seats as shown in this picture. The vibrant colours of the tiles are truly breathtaking.
