The Mireuk Daebul at Bongeunsa — a 23 m stone Maitreya, the tallest stone statue in Korea, carved under Master Yeongam from 1986 to 1996 with donations from over 10,000 temple members and dedicated to Korean reunification. The temple itself dates to 794 and was the head temple of Korean Seon Buddhism from 1551 to 1936 — now sitting a few hundred metres from the COEX mall in Gangnam.

The "hat" is a stone canopy, descended from the honorific parasol held over rulers and holy figures — and it also keeps rain off the face.

Gorge-ous

Juráňova dolina is a hidden natural jewel located in the northernmost part of Slovakia, right next to the Polish border. This dramatic limestone gorge sits in the Western Tatras mountains and is famous for its stunning, narrow canyon carved out by a roaring mountain stream. Unlike many of the steep and rugged hiking trails in Slovakia, this valley is uniquely flat and gentle. Visitors walk along a scenic system of wooden footbridges and platforms built directly above the rushing water, making it a very accessible and safe way to experience wild, untouched European nature.

The hike is an easy, kid/friendly, three-hour loop that begins and ends at the thermal springs of Oravice, allowing you to combine a morning walk through the forest with an afternoon soak in naturally hot pools. The main gorge section is a protected nature reserve, meaning it is only open during the warmer months from mid-June to late October to protect local wildlife like eagles and mountain goats. It is the perfect introductory trip for newcomers to the region, offering a mix of dramatic rock cliffs, lush forests, and deep mountain history.

GÖRLITZ (Germany) - a look at the city's buildings

nobody@ipernity.com (Gabi Lombardo) — Sat, 18 Jul 2026 17:02:22 +0000

Gabi Lombardo has posted:

With its late Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and art nouveau buildings, Görlitz is considered an integrated architectural work of art, and fortunately, the city was not destroyed during the Second World War. In particular the buildings in the historic city centre never fail to fascinate with the richly decorated fasades, artful arches and frescoed ceilings from different epochs. Nowhere in Germany will you find such a density of lavishly restored listed buildings as in the city on the River Neisse.

The town lies on the Neiße river which forms the border with Poland and has approximately 56,000 inhabitants, which make Görlitz the sixth-largest town in Saxony. It is the seat of the district of Görlitz
Görlitz is first recorded back in 1071. The city grew at the intersection of Europe's oldest and most important trade routes, the Via Regia which connected Kiev to Santiago de Compostela, and the Salt Road which linked Prague to the Baltic Sea. Over the centuries, Görlitz became an influential centre of trade and science....

Huge silk-cotton tree

Lalbagh Botanical Garden is a 240‑acre horticultural marvel housing India’s largest collection of tropical and sub‑tropical plants, with 1,854 species from places like Persia, Afghanistan, and France. Its most dramatic natural treasure is the centuries-old Kapok, White Silk-Cotton tree (Ceiba pentandra), a 200‑ to 300‑year‑old giant with a buttressed trunk reaching 25–30 meters tall. In spring, the Kapok blooms with huge orange‑scarlet flowers, and by mid‑June its dark‑green pods burst to spill fluffy white silk‑cotton that looks like cotton and feels like silk. The garden also features about 14 other giant silk‑cotton trees with massive girth and roots that form hollow spaces large enough for an adult to hide, alongside the Crystal Palace‑inspired Glass House, a 3‑billion‑year‑old rock, manicured flowerbeds, and a floral clock that changes design with each season.

A short, easy hike with a lively seven‑year‑old along the southern slopes of Kubínska hoľa, one of the most visited ski resorts in the Orava region, leads across open meadows before returning gently through the forest. Even outside the snowy season, these sunny slopes in the Oravská Magura mountains are known for wide panoramas of the surrounding landscape. On a clear day, the horizon opens toward the Western Tatras and the distant Low Tatras, while the dominant landmark of Orava, Veľký Choč (1,611 m), rises proudly above the divide between Orava and Liptov, famous for its almost circular panoramic views of many Slovak mountain ranges.
