The Carson Mansion is a large Victorian house located in Old Town, Eureka, California, and is "considered the most grand Victorian home in America." It is one of the most written about and photographed Victorian houses in California and possibly also in the United States.
Images of the house are prevalent in website designs and video animations as well as on posters, paintings, and book covers. This popularity also has led to replicas being created in amusement parks, including the clock tower on the train station at Disneyland. The home also serves as a model for haunted house artwork and design.
The Sainte-Chapelle is a royal chapel in the Gothic style, within the medieval Palais de la Cité, the residence of the Kings of France until the 14th century, on the Île de la Cité island in the River Seine in the center of Paris, France.
Construction began sometime after 1238, and the chapel was consecrated on 26 April 1248. The Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns – one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom, later hosted in the nearby Notre-Dame Cathedral until the 2019 fire.
As a layer of pure water covers Salar de Uyuni, something unbelievable happens to the world's largest salt flat — it turns into world's largest mirror reflecting the beautiful Bolivian skies.
Many would agree this is the most stunning phenomenon in the world — it looks like you are actually in the sky, walking on the clouds, and seeing the same scenery overhead.
This natural wonder occurs during the rainy season from November to April, with the best time being at the end of this period. This is a truly unmissable experience indeed.
