This picture is very beautiful, we can see the Statue of Liberty with a chalice in its right hand, the statue is on an island, I can se the sunset is very cool. There are light around the statue, the sea has a dark colour, the ocean is peaceful, wow...the sky is red, I think that there is a building near the statue, but I'm not sure. I would like to visit this place, the statue seems to be with no left hand.

El Peñol stone in Antioquia, COLOMBIA



El Peñol is this immense rock that is just out from the earth in Guatapé, Antioquia. The people from the surrounding towns believe it was a meteorite that had crashed into the earth. It’s beautiful a beautiful landscape. It has 649 steps from the bottom to the top.

The stairs used to be of wood and but now they’re made of stone. At the top there is a little restaurant.

Any of the views from the top are fantastic. The rock is surrounded by dozens of man-made lakes that were made when a dam was built to create electricity for the area.

Many of the little islands in the area are home to some of the richest people and their beautiful homes with private docks.

Venece

Venece is a tourist city of Italia. In the photo I see that this is a city on the water with buildings, houses, a beautiful church and trees around the city. The city reflects on the water. There are little boats of different colors. The sky is blue and the day is sunny. The most beautiful thing of the photo is the church because is big and it has many entries and it is similar to a castle that the people visit as a tourist place.

Driving Bolivia

Driving in Bolivia is something really frightening and the person that is at a side of this road has to be very courageous and without fear to the heights. The image shows us a great mountain with a very narrow highway; in which the car goes in two senses, with a lot of care since there is not place for mistakes because the car can go to the abyss. Bolivia is located in the central region of South America, it limits the north and the east with Brazil, the southeast with Paraguay, the south with Argentina, the west with Peru and the southwest with Chile.
