HAPPY VALENTINE DAY... Keep spreading love...
Found all over the world, Bismuth is a chemical
element which is 86% as dense as lead. It is a
brittle metal with a silvery white color when
freshly produced, but is often seen in air with a
pink tinge owing to surface oxidation. This
marvel of nature is found in a series of geometrical lines and figures that resemble
something of a sci-fi movie. But trust me its
real! Unbelievable right?

Tiger's Nest Monastery
Tiger's Nest Monastery, perched precariously on the edge of a 3,000-feet-high cliff in Paro Valley, is one of the holiest places in Bhutan. Legend has it that Guru Rinpoche [wiki], the second Buddha, flew onto the cliff on the back of a tigress, and then meditated in a cave which now exists within the monastery walls.
The monastery, formally called Taktshang Goemba, was built in 1692 and reconstructed in 1998 after a fire. Now, the monastery is restricted to practicing Buddhists on religious retreats and is off-limits to ordinary tourists.

Bhangarh Fort,
Rajasthan Bhangarh, a deserted town in Rajasthan,India, was established in 1613 by King Madho Singh, son of great Mughal general, Man Singh of Amber. Bhangarh was abandoned soon after being built and supposedly after it was cursed by a magician. In ignorance Ajab Singh, the grandson of Madho Singh, raised the palace to such a height that the shadow reached the forbidden place. Hence the devastation of entire town of Bhangarh happened. Local villagers say that whenever a house is built there its roof collapses. People say that nobody returned who stayed there after dark. And the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) sign board put up there says, "Staying after sunset is strictly prohibited in this area."

Though Iceland is known for many of its waterfalls, none is perhaps as beautiful as Gullfoss, located on the White River (“Hvítá”). Translated from Icelandic, its name means “Golden Falls.” What makes the falls particularly stunning is that they traverse over three massive “steps,” plunging onto two stages, and then down a 32 meter (105ft) deep crevice. This creates the allusion that the falls are perching above an abyss—albeit probably much better looking than you’d imagine an abyss.
