FANTASTIC PHOTOS, part 1

Choose your own adjectives!  The text came with the pics.


In Nakhon Pathom Province there is a 17 story building that has a giant dragon climbing to the roof. The head is at the top where there is a shrine and the tail is on the ground floor. The dragon is hollow and it is possible to walk up some sections of it.



Leapin’ lizards, er, dolphins!



The Aiguille du Midi cable car leaves from the centre of Chamonix . It takes visitors 
up to 12,604 feet for a stunning view of the French, Swiss and Italian alps.

The Melisanni Cave, Greece. This beautiful cave, which was discovered in 1951 and is 
surrounded by forests, features in Greek mythology as the cave of the nymphs.

  1. Generalization: I would avoid the "high" views and enjoy the low ones.
    High, low, high, low, low, low, low, high.

  2. It would take braver souls than I to build that cantilever bridge or that skyway. And living in earthquake country for 26 years now doesn't make it any easier to envision walking out on such things. Yow.
