A rare catch by the Google Street View camera. It was spot on the moment the bird swooped down on the fish and flies away with the prized catch.

I found this view at B4459 bridge on River Teifi, near the small village of Pencader in Carmarthenshire, Wales.

Little Arch, Oregon

Google Street View

I spotted today this little arch in a small sea rock along the Oregon Coast Highway. Such arches are created in the rocks due to water erosion and there is nothing unusual in this rock, but it looked nice hence I am including it here.

Beautiful Hole In The Rock

Google Street View

This hole in the rock near the New Taipei City, Taiwan, though known as Shimen Cave, is not a cave but a stone arch created by the erosion of a outcrop near the beach. The framed sea viewed through the hole looks beautiful.

Its top which is accessible by means of steps on both the sides, is a popular spot for viewing the sunset and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. At one time it was used as a gun emplacement.

Beautiful Pedestrian Coastal Path between Manarola and Riomaggiore

To fully appreciate this view, please open it in Google Street View

My last post was about a nice approach road to city tunnel in Suji-gu city of South Korea. Today I present a beautiful covered pedestrian path on the coast between the Italian villages of Manarola and Riomaggiore. These two villages are part of 'Cinque Terre' on the Italian Riviera coast of Liguria region, north-western Italy.

'Cinque Terre' which literary means "Five Lands" is a cluster of 5 small villages, which are famous for multi-coloured terraced houses on rugged and steep hills stretching upto deep cliffs overlooking the sea. These villages also have another unique feature that none of the villages have any motorable roads and the 8 km long coastal path which connects these is meant for hikers only.

To preserve the beauty of this region the whole area has been declared as "The Cinque Terre National Park" and is also a UNESCO World Heritage list.
