Gaudi's otherworldly imagination
Designed by one of Spain's most famous architects,Antoni Gaudi,the Roman Catholic church Sagrada Familia is a legend in itself.Construction began in 1882,but less than a quarter of the project was complete when Gaudi died in 1926.Since then,work has progressed slowly.How about the ending? Architects plan to complete the project in 2026,the centenary of Gaudi's death.
As Barcelona's most popular tourist site,Sagrada Familia attracts three million visitors every year for one good reason: It's a masterpiece unlike anything else in the world which is largely responsible for the city's lively personality.
A setting that could steal the spotlight from any storybook hero
With its valleys surrounded by lakes,rivers,hills and peaks,the Lake District in England's northwest is quite literally taken out of fairy tales.This place was Beatrix Potter's inspiration for Peter Rabbit and the residence(居所)of the Lake Poets,including William Wordsworth,Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey.
One of nature's most magical illusions
Once upon a time in the faraway land of the Faroe Islands,Lake Leitisvatn became known as the most striking of all the islands' lakes.At more than 6km long,it is the biggest in the Faroe Islands.In reality,Lake Leitisvatn is actually no more than about 30m above sea level.A steep cliff in front of the lake and a clever camera angle make the lake appear to be much higher than it really is.
