The Black House is a campus of 8 or 10 buildings that holds an eclectic collection of macabre, sombre and surreal art. The artist certainly brought out the dark side of humanity when he furnished the place with his art. Thought provoking, entertaining, amusing, sensual, primitive – good fun. Take your camera!
Five Places You Haven’t Visited But Should
From the eternal glow of New York City to cloud-defying mountain peaks, deciding on a trip can be tough. Today, however, I am going to share with you five amazing places situated in Europe. You probably haven’t visited them, but you definitely should. Don’t be alarmed if, half way down, you feel an urge to begin booking your plane tickets!
Crossing The Andes By Bus
Crossing the Andes has long been the stuff of legend; a daunting task for the bravest pioneer climbers. The steepness to such high elevation and the harsh climate amidst rugged rock faces throughout this imposing South American range have provided a barrier that is especially difficult to traverse. If you’re a passenger in a coach on the trans-national highway, you often have serious doubts about whether you’ll reach your destination.
The Thrombolites Of Flower’s Cove
With a population of a few hundred souls it may not seem a lot different from other small communities dotting the island – except for one small detail: 650 million-year-old mega-fossils that grace the shoreline.
The White Temple: A Buddhist Temple Unlike Any Other
The White Temple near Chiang Rai, Thailand, is an extraordinary piece of Buddhist architecture. Although the temple shares many of the same architectural constructs found in all other Buddhist temples, this temple is dramatically unique in almost every other respect. This stunning, twinkling temple has a fairy-tale look to it that belies its deep religious purpose. Tourists in northern Thailand should put the White Temple on their ‘must see’ list of places to visit.
The Lion And The Rose
While it sounds like it should be located in the fictional land of Westeros (from the hit HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’ for the uninitiated), this exquisite Victorian B&B is in fact safely ensconced within the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Cappadocia: A Moonscape Viewed From Above
In the dry, dusty centre of Turkey, as the first light hits a strangely sculptural sandstone landscape, a giant nylon orb peeks over tall, spindly stone fingers. Then another, then scores more. Within minutes, the dawn sky is filled with 100 hot-air balloons; a candy-coloured kaleidoscope that is as mesmerizing as the strange moonscape above which it floats. A daily occurrence in one of Turkey’s tourism hotspots.
Festival d’été de Québec
When looking for a summer festival to conclude their 2015 Zip Code Tour, The Rolling Stones picked Quebec City’s Festival D’ Été De Quebec as the event with the most festival feel in North America.
Viking Your Way Around Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula
Feel free to grab a Viking broad sword, shield and helmet for photo ops…or perhaps an impromptu duel. If fighting to the death I would suggest using the light well balanced battle ax over the sword.
The Wine Bank
Beneath an old palace in the heart of Piedmont rests one of Italy’s great secret wine treasures. La Banca del Vino is Italy’s first interactive wine museum that covers all regions and all styles of local wine, bringing the encyclopedic regional detail of Italy’s complex wine story into clear focus. The only problem is that its administrators no longer want this great facility to remain a secret.
