Here's where to admire some of the world's most beautiful bridges
Modern, ancient, colorful, some seemingly dangerous, but all unique: spectacular bridges exist around the world. In addition to obviously having a functional purpose for movement, bridges can often also have an interesting aesthetic and artistic value, when the most famous architects design them. Here are some of the absolute most beautiful bridges scattered around the world that you may never have seen.
Golden Bridge, Da Nang (Vietnam)
The Golden Bridge is a pedestrian bridge located at a resort in the hills of Ba Na, Vietnam. This bridge, opened in 2018, connects the cable car to the resort's gardens. The structure is supported by two giant stone hands, about 24 meters high and 14 meters wide. Each finger is 2 meters in diameter.
Helix Bridge, Singapore (Singapore)
Pedestrian bridge, was opened in 2010. The shape recalls that of DNA, and the building won the award for the world's best transportation building at World Architecture Festival Awards.
Infinity Bridge, Stockton-on-Tees (England)
Pedestrian bridge located on the river Tees, presents a unique architecture with a double bridge and a pair of arches. At night the arches are reflected in the river forming the symbol of infinity.
Rope Bridge of Carrick-a-Rede, Ballintoy (Northern Ireland)
Just 20 meters long, this pedestrian suspension bridge connects Carrick Island to the mainland. A maximum of 8 people can board the structure at the same time: although no one has ever fallen off, it has happened that some visitors have not been brave enough to walk across the bridge, forcing some boats to take them back to the mainland.
Kintai Bridge, Iwakuni (Japan)
The Kintai Bridge was built in 1673 to cross the river Nishiki to Mt. Yokoyama, on which stands the castle of Iwakuni. Typhoon Kijia destroyed the bridge in 1950, but in 1953 it was rebuilt and in 1992, given its artistic value, it was declared a national treasure.
Wind and Rain Bridge, Chengyang (China)
A symbol of Chinese architecture, this bridge was built with wood and stone in 1916. The visually striking structure consists of 19 verandas connected to each other.
Python Bridge, Amsterdam (Netherlands)
Named like this because it resembles the shape of a python, Python Bridge measures about 90 meters and was inaugurated in 2001. The following year, this architectural work won the International Footbridge Award.
Pont du Gard, Vers-Pont-du-Gard (France)
This bridge spans the river Gardon and was built about 19 years before the birth of Christ. The bridge is 275 meters long and consists of three arches: there is even an aqueduct on the third level. The Pont du Gard inspired the bridge drawn on the 5-euro banknote.

The northern lights are an optical phenomenon of the Earth's atmosphere, characterized by bright bands of a wide range of shapes and colors, typically red-green-blue, called auroral arcs, caused by the interaction of charged particles of solar origin with the Earth's ionosphere.
Obviously, to observe the Northern Lights - the equivalent of the Southern Lights of the southern hemisphere of the Earth - it is necessary to head as far north as possible in the northern hemisphere, better beyond the Arctic Circle.
To observe the dawn the sky must be clear and, possibly, totally cloudless. It is also necessary that there is total darkness. The best time to observe the phenomenon, however, is between the beginning of autumn and the beginning of spring (approximately from the second half of September until the beginning of April).

The Hollywood Walk of Fame is a walkway of two long pavements that run along fifteen blocks of Hollywood Boulevard and three blocks of Vine Street on Hollywood Hill in Los Angeles, United States.
There are currently 2730 stars on this walk, and they are awarded to those who have made a contribution, either directly or indirectly, to the development of the American star system.
Inaugurated in 1958, it includes people who have had a major impact in the worlds of film, radio, television, theatre and music. Each star, depending on the character, has a different symbol within it.
There are some very interesting curiosities that are revealed during the guided tours. However, if you do not have the desire, time or money for a trip to LA, we will reveal some really interesting mysteries.
