In the late 1800s Bled Island and village, located in the middle of glacial Lake Bled, were seen as a health resort by aristocrats from around the world. Today the island and the Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church are known to be major tourist attractions. Bled Castle is an iconic landmark because of its location teetering on a cliff overlooking the lake.
The Assumption of Mary Pilgrimage Church was built in the 15th century and is known by visitors because of the 99 steps that lead up to the church. Traditionally, local grooms carry their brides up these steps while the bride remains perfectly silent, in order to bring them happiness in the future. The church also has bells that visitors ring for good luck. Tourists can hire boats to get to the church.

Zuibaichi, literally: "Drunken Bai Pond") is a Chinese garden in Shanghai's suburban Songjiang District that dates back to the Song Dynasty. It occupies an area of 5 hectares and is one of the five ancient Chinese gardens in Shanghai. The garden's name lies in the famous Chinese poet Li Bai. It is said that if Li Bai was brought back to life and had a sightseeing here, he would certainly lingered on and forgot to return, just about drunk. Actually famous men of letters usually gathered together, making various poems on the fantastic landscape. Drunken Bai Garden has an architectural style of Chinese traditional garden which was inherited from architectures in Suzhou: elegant pavilions, winding and zigzagging paves, carved beams and painted rafters. It was such a scenery of exceptional charm that it attracts an endless stream of tourists.

The Second Generation on Mount Olympus
Apollo is from the second generation of gods who ruled from the lofty heights of Mount Olympus. Apollo was the god of the sun, of music, prophecy, and archery. He was also a lawgiver and the favorite son of Zeus. Twins Apollo and Artemis lived in the realm of the intellect, will, and mind, so Zeus understood and favored them. He gave Apollo golden arrows, and Artemis silver ones to practice their archery skills.

Pórtico del cielo es una combinación de tres imágenes donde se desarrolla un paisaje que va desde una panorámica de un atardecer pasando por una nube de un claroscuro mágico hasta llegar a un cielo azul profundo con una conjunción planetaria de Venus y Júpiter engalanado por una luna que deja ver la parte no iluminada.
Porch of Heaven is a combination of three images which develops a landscape that ranges from an overview of a sunset through a cloud of magic chiaroscuro until a deep blue sky with a planetary conjunction of Venus and Jupiter adorned by a moon reveals the unlit part.
This place of worship was completed in the early-19th century and is one of the cityâs top landmarks. At the fall of communism it was the site of one of the most remarkable events in Tiranaâs recent history, when on the 10th of January 1991 10,000 people gathered to practise their religion, against the decree of the authorities who had banned Islam for almost half a century. In the end there was no police interference and the event marked a turning for religious freedom in Albania. The outer walls of this mosque are unusual as they depict idyllic scenery such as forests and waterfalls, which arenât normally permitted in Islamic art.
