The Cango Caves is one of South Africa's finest, best known, and most popular tourist caves and attracts many visitors from overseas. Although the extensive system of tunnels and chambers go on for over 4 km (2.5 mi), only about a quarter of this is open to visitors, who may proceed into the cave only in groups supervised by a guide.
Tours are conducted at regular intervals on most days—there is a "Standard Tour" which takes an hour and an "Adventure Tour" which takes an hour and a half. The "Adventure Tour" consists of crawling through narrow passages and climbing up steep rock formations guided by small lights. The caves contain halls and limestone formations (on both tours) as well as small passages on the Adventure Tour. The smallest passage that tourists will have to pass through on the Adventure Tour is just under 15 cm to exit.

Visiting the magnificent Norwich Cathedral earlier this month I just had to take a photograph of the fantastic ceiling, however in very low light and without a tripod my options were limited but then I came across a mirrored viewing table which allows you to see the splendor of what is above your head by looking down - a lot easier thing to photograph.
Le décor peint fut exécuté en 1314 par un certain maître Jacques et deux collaborateurs anonymes.
Les peintures, dont le style trahit des influences italiennes et anglaises, relèvent
d’une conception d’ensemble, élaborée pour Amédée V, commanditaire exigeant
et cultivé.
Elles ont pour sujet central le Christ, évoqué par thèmes illustrant sa généalogie, sa vie terrestre et sa résurrection. Ceux-ci sont strictement répartis dans l’espace:
les voûtes accueillent les figures de l’Ancien Testament, ainsi que celle de saint Jean-Baptiste
les parois nord et sud, des personnages du Nouveau Testament, évangélistes et apôtres
les deux autres parois sont dans un état qui ne permet pas l'interprétation
The Hassan II Mosque or Grande Mosquée Hassan II is a mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. It is the largest mosque in
Morocco and Africa and the 7th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's tallest at 210 metres (689 ft). Completed in 1993, it was designed by Michel Pinseau and built by Bouygues. The minaret is 60 stories high topped by a laser, the light from which is directed towards Mecca. The mosque stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic Ocean, the sea bed being visible through the glass floor of the building's hall. The walls are of hand-crafted marble and the roof is retractable. A maximum of 105,000 worshippers can gather together for prayer: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and another 80,000 on the mosque's outside grounds.
