Look Amazing - WORLD'S EDGE - SOUTH COAST OF ENGLAND
Beachy
Head is a chalk headland on the south coast of England, close to the
town of Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex, immediately east of the
Seven Sisters. The cliff there is the highest chalk sea cliff in
Britain, rising to 162 m (530 ft) above sea level. The peak allows views
of the south east coast from Dungeness to the east, to Selsey Bill in
the west. Its height has also made it one of the most notorious suicide
spots in the world.
The chalk was formed in the Late Cretaceous period, between 65 and 100 million years ago, when the area was under the sea. During the Cenozoic Era the chalk was uplifted (see Cenozoic Era). When the last Ice Age ended, sea levels rose and the English Channel formed, cutting into the chalk to form the dramatic cliffs along the Sussex coast.

Look Amazing - Palace of Westminster(London, United Kingdom)
The
Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and
the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United
Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its tenants,
the Palace lies on the Middlesex bank of the River Thames in the City of
Westminster, in central London. Its name, which derives from the
neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures:
the Old Palace, a medieval building complex that was destroyed by fire
in 1834, and its replacement New Palace that stands today. For
ceremonial purposes, the palace retains its original style and status as
a royal residence.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the eleventh century, and Westminster was the primary London residence of the Kings of England until a fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of Parliament, which had been meeting there since the thirteenth century, and the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only structures of significance to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft and the Jewel Tower.
The subsequent competition for the reconstruction of the Palace was won by architect Charles Barry and his design for a building in the Perpendicular Gothic style. The remains of the Old Palace (with the exception of the detached Jewel Tower) were incorporated in its much larger replacement, which contains over 1,100 rooms organised symmetrically around two series of courtyards. Part of the New Palace's area of 3.24 hectares (8 acres) was reclaimed from the Thames, which is the setting of its principal façade, the 266-metre (873 ft) river front. Barry was assisted by Augustus W. N. Pugin, a leading authority on Gothic architecture and style, who provided designs for the decoration and furnishings of the Palace. Construction started in 1840 and lasted for thirty years, suffering great delays and cost overruns, as well as the death of both leading architects; works for the interior decoration continued intermittently well into the twentieth century. Major conservation work has been carried out since, due to the effects of London's air pollution, and extensive repairs took place after the Second World War, including the reconstruction of the Commons Chamber following its bombing in 1941.
The Palace is one of the centres of political life in the United Kingdom; "Westminster" has become a metonym for the UK Parliament, and the Westminster system of government has taken its name after it. The Elizabeth Tower, in particular, which is often referred to by the name of its main bell, "Big Ben", is an iconic landmark of London and the United Kingdom in general, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and an emblem of parliamentary democracy. The Palace of Westminster has been a Grade I listed building since 1970 and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
Look Amazing - Alaska(USA)
Alaska was purchased from Russia on March 30, 1867, for $7.2 million ($120 million in today's[when?] dollars) at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km²). The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized (or incorporated) territory on May 11, 1912, and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.
The name "Alaska" (Аляска) was already introduced in the Russian colonial period, when it was used only for the peninsula and is derived from the Aleut alaxsxaq, meaning "the mainland" or, more literally, "the object towards which the action of the sea is directed". It is also known as Alyeska, the "great land", an Aleut word derived from the same root.

Look Amazing - False Creek(Vancouver)
False
Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown
from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during
his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. Science World is located at its
eastern end and the Burrard Street Bridge crosses its western end. False
Creek is also spanned by the Granville Street and Cambie bridges. The
Canada Line tunnel crosses underneath False Creek just west of the
Cambie Bridge. It is one of the four major bodies of water bordering
Vancouver along with English Bay, Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River.
Look Amazing - Banff National Park(Canada)
Banff
National Park (pronunciation: /ˈbæmf/) is Canada's oldest national
park, established in 1885 in the Rocky Mountains. The park, located
110–180 km (68–110 mi) west of Calgary in the province of Alberta,
encompasses 6,641 km2 (2,564 sq mi) of mountainous terrain, with
numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine
landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting
to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho
National Park are neighbors to the west, while Kootenay National Park is
located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main
commercial centre of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River
valley.
The Canadian Pacific Railway was instrumental in Banff's early years, building the Banff Springs Hotel and Chateau Lake Louise, and attracting tourists through extensive advertising. In the early 20th century, roads were built in Banff, at times by war internees, and through Great Depression-era public works projects. Since the 1960s, park accommodations have been open all year, with annual tourism visits to Banff increasing to over 5 million in the 1990s. Millions more pass through the park on the Trans-Canada Highway. As Banff is one of the world's most visited national parks, the health of its ecosystem has been threatened. In the mid-1990s, Parks Canada responded by initiating a two-year study, which resulted in management recommendations, and new policies that aim to preserve ecological integrity.

Look Amazing - Frog that gives birth through mouth
Southern
gastric-brooding frog (Rheobatrachus silus) : This species was
discovered in 1972 living in rocky creeks and ponds in the rainforest of
Queensland, Australia. They have an amazing way of “bringing up baby.”
First the female swallows her eggs, then her digestion slows down and
she stops feeding and the tadpole develops in her stomach. After six to
eight weeks, she opens her mouth, dilates her esophagus and the babies
crawl out. Sadly, this extraordinary frog is most probably extinct. The
last wild southern gastric-brooding frog was seen in 1981—the last known
frog in captivity died in 1983.

Look Amazing - Kjeragbolten, Norway
This is Kjeragbolten; a boulder wedged between two rock faces that are 2 metres apart in Norway.
It is believed that the boulder got stuck there during the last ice age. Today, even though it hangs more than a half a mile (1000m) above the water below and has no hand rail or safety net, it is, believe it or not, a popular place to get your picture taken!

LooK Amazing - Can you see a rainbow at night?
Yes, the moon is bright enough to produce a
rainbow, and while rare, people do see it. We all just have to get out
more at night. Since the moon is not near as bright as the sun, the
rainbow produced by the moon at night is much weaker than a rainbow
produced by the sun during the day. Our eyes see dim things as black and
white, not in colour. So a night "moonbow" will look gray not
colourful.
