This looked like something out of a dream, as it was so misty that day! Matsushima is known as one of the 3 greatest scenic spots in Japan as there are numerous small pine covered islands off of the coast and tour boats take people closer to them for a better view up-close. It was too misty the day I was there in 1981 and I was too short of time on my next visit some years later to go out on one of the tour bots. So seeing the islands up close is still on my "to see" list.

This monument in Ulaanbaatar was built by the Soviets to commemorate "unknown soldiers and heroes" from various wars. It sits high on a hill south of the city, thus provided excellent views over UB.

Kaali Meteor crater on Saaremaa Island
Kaali is a group of 9 meteorite craters located on the Estonian island of Saaremaa. The largest of the craters measures 110 meters in diameter and contains a small lake. At the altitude of 5-10 km, the meteorite broke into pieces and fell to the Earth in fragments - the greatest of which produced a crater with a diameter of 110 m, 22 m deep.
Eight smaller craters were also associated with this bombardment. Their diameters range from 12 to 40m and their respective depths vary from 1 to 4m. They are all within a 1 kilometer radius of the main crater.
The impact is thought to have occurred in the Holocene Era, around 660 ± 85 BCE. The impact energy of about 80 TJ (20 kilotons of TNT), is comparable with that of the Hiroshima bomb blast - incinerating forests within a 6 km radius.
Lake Kaali is considered a "sacred lake". There is archaeological evidence that it may well have been a place of ritual sacrifice.

Camino de los llanos entre Alcalá la Real y La Fuente del Rey.
Estos lugares están "sembrados" de cruces como esta, no son tumbas, pero son las huellas de la tradición del vía-crucis y la ancestral devoción a la Santa Cruz que se profesa por esta comarca de la Sierra Sur de Jaén. Estas cruces, normalmente se colocaban en las eras de los cortijos o en las plazas y lugares amplios del pueblo, con el fin de que las gentes se reunieran en algunas épocas del año a rezar y festejar en torno a ellas.
Esta de la foto concretamente está en una era que comparte con una antigua choza (todavía en uso) que se utilizaba para guardar los aperos de labranza, ahora solo se utiliza para darle sombra al amo de estas tierras. Los dueños de estas cruces, se ocupan de tenerlas blanqueadas y adornadas durante todo el año.
Cuando se pasa andando de noche junto a estos lugares, da un poco de "repeluco" incluso hay quien cuenta leyendas sobre fantasmas vistos en torno a estas cruces.......
