Very cute

So did you glow blue at night from the "chemical reaction" in the water?
And were there any fish, reptiles, or diseases you had to look out for in the water?

Mine wasn't an oops. I figured if y'all really wanted to know, you could right click and see it's Micronesia. Specifically, the first picture is the San Francisco Maru, and that picture is at about 165~feet underwater in Truk Lagoon.

~The Inverted Tower - Sintra, Portugal~

An underground tunnel with a spiral staircase, supported by carved columns, down to the bottom of the well through nine landings. The nine hole round landings, separated by fifteen steps, evoke references to Dante's Divine Comedy, and may represent the nine circles of hell, paradise, or purgatory.
The well is connected to laberĂ­ticas caves that lead to a spooky garden surrounded by a lake.

Namib Desert - Namib means 'vast place'. It stretches 1.200 mi or 2000km along the Atlantic costs of Angola, Namibia and SA. It's the only true desert in southern Africa and it's the oldest desert in the world.

Natural Bridge is pretty awesome. Been there a couple of times. The picture doesn't justify it, it is a lot bigger than that.
