Horsetail Firefall California
“
Horsetail Falls is a small seasonal waterfall that only appears in late winter and early spring. It flows over the east side of El Capitan, so as a backdrop it has one of the most impressive walls of granite in the entire park. Then – only for part of February, and only when the sky is clear – the very last sunrays of the day selectively linger on the falls, lighting it up with a golden glow that makes the water look like lava."

Bran Castle Romania

Perched on a rock, strategically overlooking one of the most important mediaeval trading routes in this part of Europe, Bran is certainly impressive - even scary - from afar. And while Romanians are quick to point out that Bran Castle has indeed little to do with our fanged friend, you’ll notice quickly that the local tourist authorities have become experts in making innocent tourists believe otherwise."

Leaning Tower Of Pisa (La Torre Di Pisa) Italy
“
It's not an optical illusion, nor have the architects imagined it so crooked. No sooner had the tower reached the the third storey than the construction started sinking into the ground due to a poorly laif foundation and the leaning first became obvious. Today is keeps sinking at the regular rate of about 1mm a year, and even the weightiest of minds are not able to say with certainty what the future will bring for this Italian curiosity and an undisputable masterpiece of architecture."

My family and some friends out for a Father's day camping trip. Rainbow Falls was a great hike for all of us: just hard enough for the kids to feel good about, but didn't take all day. Beautiful, fun falls! Packing in to camp was the same, just far enough away from the car to feel out there while reserving the option to hike back out in a quick half-mile. Great swimming in the river right off the site. We cooked hot dogs with crescent roll dough on sticks over the fire explored for hours. Great trip!
