Сад Джусти в Вероне. Сад небольшой, но заслуживающий внимания. В последнее время нервно вздрагиваю, когда слышу слово "уютный" по отношению к саду, но если уж и использовать - то сад Джусти как раз для этого подходит. Так что если вам надо поразмыслить о том, о сем что делать с остатками своей…

Via en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Monument The Lion lies in his lair in the perpendicular face of a low cliff — for he is carved from the living rock of the cliff. His size is colossal, his attitude is noble. His head is bowed, the broken spear is sticking in his shoulder, his protecting paw rests upon the lilies of France. Vines hang down the cliff and wave in the wind, and a clear stream trickles from above and empties into a pond at the base, and in the smooth surface of the pond the lion is mirrored, among the water-lilies. Around about are green trees and grass. The place is a sheltered, reposeful woodland nook, remote from noise and stir and confusion — and all this is fitting, for lions do die in such places, and not on granite pedestals in public squares fenced with fancy iron railings. The Lion of Lucerne would be impressive anywhere, but nowhere so impressive as where he is. — Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad, 1880

First erected in 1580, this enormous stone structure watches over the pond in front of it like a guardian of nature.

There are two 30' tall bronze statues that sit on the Nevada end of the dam...local folklore says that rubbing the feet will bring you good luck... I'm a fan of math and odds and didn't see the need to rub them...I lost $30 that night at the casino...

Some photos are so chilling, it's just hard to look away. Even more so, a photo of a sculpture carries with it so much mystery that we just can't help try to uncover the real story behind it's eerie complexity and take a closer look.

Cosa troverete: un meraviglioso pozzo a gradini in Portogallo; una vasca a forma di cuore in un resort per innamorati folli; delle statue semivive in un parco a tema in rovina; l’aspetto R…
