What was once an ordinary bridge in South Korea, is now a world wide attraction. The Banpo Bridge spans the Han River in Seoul, Korea. Drivers on this bridge are treated to an amazing water display as they pass across the bridge. Similar to driving through big puddle of water. A network of water canons extend the span of the bridge on each side. The canons shoot gracefully from the Banpo Bridge, much like a waterfall. The end result is a fountain similar to the Bellagio Hotel’s display in Las Vegas. The water canons dance to music in 100 different configurations. At night an amazing light show creates an even more fantastical scene. Work began last March on the design of water fountains as beautification project for Seoul.

This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground.None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there.
