River Avon And Bridges - Bath
River Avon And Bridges. A graceful V-shaped weir just below the shop-lined Pulteney Bridge, an Italianate structure designed by the eighteenth-century Scottish architect Robert Adam, interrupts the flow of the River Avon -a crucial ingredient in the city's charm -. The bridge was intended to link the city center with Great Pulteney Street, a handsome avenue originally planned as the nucleus of a large residential quarter on the eastern bank.

Sea of Galil - Galil
Galil. The Sea of Galilee is a harp-shaped lake set in the sun-drenched Jordan Valley and framed by lush vegetation and imposing mountains. The character of the lake surface is ever changing, different at each hour. The Sea of Galilee is Israel's largest freshwater lake and is fed by underground springs, but mostly by the Jordan River. It lies 200 meters below sea level, and is the major source of fresh water for the whole of Israel. Fresh water, a warm climate, and fertile soil have made the lake shores a virtual paradise since ancient times, from prehistoric man to the first modern pioneers.

Seine River - Paris
Seine River and Pont Neuf. The first stone of the ""Pont Neuf"" was laid in 1578, but the work was completed only in 1604. Contrary to all architectural and structural considerations, it is now the most famous bridge in Paris for in fact it is two spans each anchored on the tip of the Isle de la Cit?. For its time it was quite wide, constructed to house rows of shops, but in the the end Henri IV granted permission for transient commerce only.

St Pietersberg Caves - Maastricht
St. Pietersberg Caves. Mount Sint Pieter is a hill just south of Maastricht, formed out of a marl table-land by the erosion of the valleys of the river Meuse and Jeker. This table-land was formed 80,000,000 years ago, during the Cretaceous Era, by the accumulation of the remains of shellfish etc, which inhabited the sea in prehistoric times. There are many old and new charcoal paintings and signatures to be seen on the walls: Don Alva (1570), Dona Isabella de la Tas (1577) P. Stas (1548), Napoleon (1803).
