Yekaterinburg, The monument to the city founders

Yekaterinburg is known as the city which stands in two parts of the world, on the border between Europe and Asia. The heart of the city is the so-called Plotinka (the 300-year-old water dam). This is the place where the old iron works used to be. The dam separates the Iset River from the City Pond which is actually the same Iset but much wider. You can have a look at this small waterfall and have a very short walk down the main street, Lenin Prospect, up to the 1905 Square. The m ai n street crosses the city weir. There is a monument to the founders of Yekaterinburg city there. This 9-foot monument to V. Tatischev and V. de Gennin is erected right at the spot where they built their first iron mill in 1723. It was opened in Au gust, 1998 by the 275^th anniversary of the city. The monument itself represents two men figures, dressed in the old-fashion jackets of Peter the Great epoch, in wigs with curls. One of them has a cocked hat on his head. Their faces and looks are twin brothers like. That is how the sculptor P. Chusovitinov s aw the city founders V. Tatischev and V. de Gennin.

London, The London Eye

The London Eye, a giant observation wheel, is located in the Jubilee Gardens on the Sou th Bank. The structure was designed by the architectural team of David Marks and Julia Barfield, husband and wife. The 135 meter (443ft) tall structure was built as part of London's millennium celebrations. Construction of the observation wheel took more th an a year and a half to complete. In the process over 1700 tonnes of steel were used for the structure and more than 3000 tonnes of concrete were used for the foundations. The futuristic looking capsules, accommodating up to 25 passengers, were transported all the way from France by train th rough the Channel. Each egg-shaped capsule is 8 meters long and weighs 500kg. The 25 meter (82 ft) long spindle was built in the Czech Republic. The rim has a diameter of 122m (400ft), about 200 times the size of a bicycle wheel. 80 spokes connect the rim with the spindle. The observation wheel turns slow enough for people to embark while it is moving. A complete turn takes about 30 minutes. Thanks to the construction of the glass capsules on the outer side of the rim, the passengers have a great 360° view over London. Many famous landmarks are clearly visible, including the Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedraland the Houses of Parliament. On a clear day you can see as far as 40 km (25 miles).

New York City, Statue of Liberty

The statue was a gift from the French government for the 100th birthday of America's Independence. It was designed by a young French sculptor Bartholdi. The statue's face was modeled after his mother's and the story goes that the body was modeled after a prostitute. The crown of Lady Liberty, as the statue is often called, has seven spikes, symbolizing the Seven S ea s across which liberty should be spr ea d. In her left hand she holds a tablet with the Declaration of Independence and in her right hand a torch, symbolizing Enlightenment. The Statue of Liberty was constructed in Paris, France. It took nine years before it was completed in 1884 after which it was sent to the USA in 214 crates. It was decided to erect the statue at a small island in the harbor of New York City. The biggest problem was the construction of the pedestal, which had to be paid for by the Americans themselves. The statue's torch was displayed in Madison Square Park for six years in an attempt to spark interest and attract funds. Eventually, the statue was erected 10 years later, in 1886, when it was officially inaugurated by president Grover Cleveland. The Statue of Liberty is 46,5 meter high and together with the pedestal it reaches 93 meter. You can take the staircase inside the statue and walk all the way up the 354 steps to the crown from where you have a nice view over N ew York City.

Ontario, Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls actually consist of two sets of falls, separated by the tiny G oa tIsland: the Canadian falls and the American falls. The Canadian falls are named ‘Horseshoe Falls’ and receive about 90% of the fl ow of water from the Niagara River. This waterfall is approximately 800 meters wide and 50 meters high, pumping an average of over 100,000 cubic meters of water each minute. This is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Some interesting facts from Niagara Falls' history: · in 1848 Niagara Falls actually stopped flowing for 30 hours when ice f ie lds from Lake Erie jammed at the s our ce of the river; · the first person who attempted to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel was a 63-year-old woman. Seeking fame and fortune, schoolteacher Annie Taylor loaded herself - and her cat - up in a barrel and descended over the falls in 1901. She survived. There are several ways to experience the falls, from walking along the bank and into the tunnels by the falls, or by taking a boat ride to the f oo t of the falls. At night, the Horseshoe Falls are illuminated until ar ou nd 9:00pm in the evening.

Australia, Kakadu National Park

The name 'Kakadu' comes from an aboriginal floodplain language called ‘Gagudju’ which was one of the languages spoken in the north of the park at the beginning of 20^th century. Lying 100 miles east of Darwin within the Alligator Rivers region of Australia’s Northern Territory, Kakadu National Park is the second largest national park in the world and one of the country’s most famous natural attractions. The park covers some 20,000 square kilometers and is well known for its amazing biodiversity as well as its rich indigenous cultural heritage. Kakadu is home to 68 mammals, more than 120 reptiles, 26 frogs, over 300 tidal and freshwater fish species, more than 2 000 plants and over 10 000 species of insects. It provides habitat for more than 290 bird species. Animal and bird watching are popular purs ui ts with many visitors and re qu ire no previous knowledge of wildlife to be enjoyed. The park also offers gu ests a chance to step into this tribal man’s territory. Aboriginals continue to live within the park, following long-held ways of life and traditions. The visual evidence of their past in the numerous rock paintings around the park is fascinating.
