WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

Kiyomizu-dera (清水寺), formally Otowa-san Kiyomizu-dera (音羽山清水寺), is an independent[clarification needed] Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto. The temple is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto (Kyoto, Uji and Otsu Cities) UNESCO World Heritage site.
This site is always packed with the crowd, the main temple is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site; too bad, it was under the renovation at the time I visiting.

Meteora (Greece) het andere Griekenland, een plek tussen Hemel en aarde en een indrukwekkende plek
Meteora (Grieks: Μετέωρα) zijn de op hoge rotspilaren gebouwde kloosters. Door eeuwenlange wind- en watererosie (ooit was de Thessalische vlakte een binnenzee) hebben de rotsformaties hun specifieke en moeilijk bedwingbare uiterlijk gekregen.

Meteora (Greece) another Greece, a place between heaven and earth and an impressive place
Meteora (Greek: Μετέωρα) are the monasteries built on high rock pillars. By centuries of wind and water erosion (once the Thessaly plain was an inland sea), the rock formations have their specific and difficult bedwingbare received appearance.
The Ironbridge, which crosses the River Severn, was the first cast iron bridge ever built (1779) and the area around it is regarded as the "Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution." Remains of the original Coalbrookdale factory that built the bridge and other important features associated with the start of the industrial revolution can be seen at museums in the UNESCO World-Heritage Ironbridge George area.
The Chateau de Chenonceau is located on the banks of the Cher.
It was built in the 16th century.

Das historische Jeddah (UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) zeigt noch die traditionelle Architektur, die einst in Städten an beiden Küsten des Roten Meeres üblich war und von der ausserhalb Saudi-Arabiens nur noch wenige Überreste erhalten sind. Der Stil zeichnet sich durch die imposanten Turmhäuser aus, die mit grossen hölzernen Roshan-Fenstererkern (Maschrabbiya) verziert sind und im späten 19. Jahrhundert von den Handelseliten der Stadt gebaut wurden, sowie durch niedrigere Korallensteinhäuser, Moscheen, Ribat-s, Suqs und kleine öffentliche Plätze, die zusammen einen lebendigen Raum bilden. Seit der 3. Kalif Othman ibn Affan Jeddah im 7. Jahrhundert n. Chr. zum offiziellen Hafen von Mekka machte, galt dieses für muslimische Pilger als « Tor nach Mekka » (Quelle: whc.unesco.org).
Historic Jeddah (UNESCO world heritage site) is an outstanding reflection of the Red sea architectural tradition, a construction style once common to cities on both coasts of the Red sea, of which only scant vestiges are preserved outside the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the nominated property. The style is characterized by the imposing tower houses decorated by large wooden Roshan (mashrabiya) built in the late 19th century by the city`s mercantile elites, and also by lower coral stone houses, mosques, ribat-s, suqs and small public squares that together compose a vibrant space. Historic Jeddah had a symbolic role as a gate to Makkah for Muslim pilgrims since the 7th century AH when the 3rd Caliph Othman ibn Affan made it the official port of Makkah (source: whc.unesco.org).

Uxmal bezeichnet die Ruinen einer ehemals großen und kulturell bedeutenden Stadt der Maya in Mexiko. Der Name Uxmal kommt möglicherweise von „ox-mal“, was in der yukatekischen Mayasprache „dreimal“ bedeutet. Die Ruinenstadt liegt in der leicht welligen Karstlandschaft Puuc auf der Halbinsel Yucatán im gleichnamigen mexikanischen Bundesstaat, etwa 80 Kilometer südlich von Mérida.
Die Stadt erlebte ihre Hochblüte am Ende des Späten Klassikums im 9. und frühen 10. Jahrhundert n. Chr., wurde aber bereits ein bis zwei Jahrhunderte später völlig verlassen. Die Bauten werden von der „Pyramide des Zauberers“ überragt, die wie die meisten Gebäude in Uxmal während der Besiedlung der Stadt immer wieder umgebaut und erweitert wurde.
Uxmal is an ancient Maya city of the classical period located in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque, Chichén, and Calakmul in Mexico, Caracol and Xunantunich in Belize, and Tikal in Guatemala. It is located in the Puuc region of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, and is considered one of the Maya cities most representative of the region's dominant architectural style. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance.

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (German: Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann, who for the last eleven years of his life lived nearby.

The Longmen Grottoes (aka Longmen Caves) is a UNESCO–listed world heritage site which has thousands of statues of Buddha carved in caves excavated from its surrounding cliffs. Unfortunately, the site was subjected to significant vandalism and senseless destruction at several points in its history. Major artifacts were removed by Western collectors and souvenir hunters during the early 20th century and by the Japanese during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The heads of many statues were also destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
The Chinese government has since recognized the cultural and tourist importance of the Longmen Grottoes and has been active engaged in the preservation and restoration of the site. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmen_Grottoes

Wikipedia: Westminster Abbey is a large and famous Anglican church in Westminster, London. It is the shrine of Edward the Confessor and the burial place of many kings and queens. Since it was built it has been the place where the coronations of Kings and Queens of England have been held. The present structure dates from 1245, when it was started by Henry III.
The status of the Abbey is that of a Royal Peculiar. This means it is place of worship that falls directly under the jurisdiction of the British monarch, rather than under a bishop. The concept dates from Anglo-Saxon times, when a church could ally itself with the monarch and therefore not be subject to the bishop of the area. Technically speaking, it is not a cathedral, though it is regarded as one in practice.
One of the most famous tombs at Westminster Abbey is that of the Unknown Warrior.
Westminster Abbey and its small parish church, St Margaret's, form a UNESCO World Heritage site, which also includes Westminster Palace.

“Travel makes one modest. You can see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” - Gustav Flaubert.
Not just in terms of space, but also in terms of time. At least that's how I often feel when visiting a UNESCO World Heritage Site, like here in the beautiful town of Ferrara in Italy.

Le magasin Kartaruga Canovaccio, une boutique artisanale de masques vénitiens, 5369 – 5370 calle al Ponte de la Guerra, Venise, Italie. La boutique se trouve tout près du Ponte de la Guerra et du canal Rio di San Giuliano.
Fondée peu après 528 par des réfugiés fuyant l'invasion lombarde, Venise fut la capitale pendant onze siècles, de 697-1797 de la république de Venise. Devenue aujourd’hui capitale de la Vénétie et située au milieu de la lagune vénète, entre les estuaires du Pô et du Piave, Venise est renommée pour cet emplacement exceptionnel ainsi que pour son architecture et son patrimoine culturel, qui lui ont valu en 1987 une inscription au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO (WHL-394).
