Sharp turns and wild nature have put the Atlantic Road at the top of the British newspaper The Guardian's list of the world's best road trips. Atlantic Ocean Road takes you over 8 brigdes from islet to islet out to the very point where the land ends and the ocean begins. It is a 8.3-kilometer (5.2 mi) long section of County Road 64 which runs through an archipelago in Eide and Averøy in Møre og Romsdal, Norway.
Have a look at it when the sea is stormy.

Leao – The Dog Who Refuses to Leave His Owner’s Graveside
A photo of a Brazilian dog siting by his owner’s muddy grave, near Rio de Janeiro. His name is Leao and simply refuses to leave the graveside of his owner Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died during the terrible landslides that devastated Brazil. As the mudslides death toll hits 630, a loyal dog refuses to leave the muddy graveside of its owner.
The photo of Leao remind us of the true story of Hachiko, another monument of canine loyalty that has inspired Japanese dog lovers for years.

There is a tree which can grow up to 7 different fruits on it..!! It is called fruit salad tree..!!
Fruit salad tree sprouts as many as seven varieties of fruit in one tree. The combinations aren’t quite as diverse as bountiful fruit bowls — apples and peaches, for example, can’t mix. But the trees combine several members of fruit families into one.
A citrus version grows oranges, mandarins, lemons, limes, tangelos, lemonades (a rounded fruit that’s sweet like lemonade) and grapefruit. A stone fruit tree yields peaches, apricots, plums, nectarines, peachcots (a cross between peaches and apricots) and peacherines. The trees can be planted outside in small back yards (depending on their climate requirements), or kept in a pot. Most are self-pollinating so no partner trees or pollinating bees are needed.

The Ultimate Swim-up Bar
Personally I have never seen a swim-up bar quite like this. And it’s in a private residence nonetheless! Located in Cao San Lucas, Mexico, this incredible swim-up bar was built and designed by VITA Planning & Landscape Architecture.
What a unique and fun design, something your guests would surely never forget!
