Chambord Castle or the château of Chambord is one of the most magnificent architectural and historical features in France. It was built on the Cosson River near the Blois and it was the place where a lot of French kings used to spend their time in past.

It is especially known to be a favorite place for king Louis XIV. This amazing castle was built in 16th century and it was a proof of the squandering nature of most of French kings. It contains 440 rooms and, when horses were used for traveling, it could host 1200 horses.

This amazing architectural structure with huge historical value is today owned by French government who bought it back from an Italian Ducal family of Parma in 1932. Despite the fact that almost 500 years have passed since it was built, this building still remains stable and glorious as it was in time of its construction. Photos via flickr .

This rock has not much more usual than every other rock. It is just special by its placement, it seems that it is example of perfect balancing act found in nature. It can be found in Burma at the Moun Kyaiktiyo.

Local people are known to give sacral value to anything unusual so it was similar with this rock. They have melted the gold (despite the fact that majority of people in Burma are very poor) and covered whole rock with it and gave it name Golden Rock. They even declared it third most sacred place in Burma.

On the top of the rock they built a little pagoda which is also covered with pure gold. This nice example of balance in nature really looks astonishing. The rock looks like it could fell every moment but in fact it is pretty stable .

It is always entertaining to see and walk through a miniature version of some big city where you can see all famous buildings recreated in small versions.

One of such parks called “park Karlshorst” has been built in Berlin where visitors can find miniature versions of some of the most known buildings from Berlin and Brandenburg.

You can see a few of photos here taken in this park. If you decide to visit it yo can see there miniature versions of the Brandenburg Gate, Reichstag, Pergamon Museum and plenty of other buildings from Berlin and Brandenburg.
