Autumn in North Korea

Balmy beaches, red-leaved trees, mellow sunshine... who would have thought this was North Korea? In one of the world's most isolated nations, as described by travel writer Pico Iyer in his anthology "Falling Off the Map", it appears that people do lead a life. It may not be easy to get a visa to North Korea, but this slideshow will transport you there!

Water Bridge Over River

Even after you see it, it is still hard to believe !

Water Bridge in Germany ....

What a feat! Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......

now this is engineering! This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany, as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration. To those who appreciate engineering projects, here's a puzzle for you armchair engineers and physicists. Did that bridge have to be designed to withstand the additional weight of ship and barge traffic, or just the weight of the water?
Answer: It only needs to be designed to withstand the weight of the water! Why? A ship always displaces an amount of water that weighs the same as the ship, regardless of how heavily a ship may be loaded.
