SHANGRALA'S
AMAZING
THINGS!

Our world is full of awesome sights! We just have to take the time
to notice and appreciate them. Here's Some Truly Amazing Things! Enjoy! :) 
A bridge over a frozen river 
A room in an underwater hotel, Dubai 
The glass trail of terror (height: 1,430 metres), China 
The cleanest water in the world, Melissani Lake, Greece 
The road through Death Valley, USA 
The shadow of an air liner penetrates a layer of fog, Logan Airport, Boston 
A 1000 year old oak tree with a chapel inside, France 
The North Brother Island is one of the many mysteries of New York City. Located on the East River between the Bronx and Riker's Island, this abandoned island used to be the home of Riverside Hospital in the 19th century, where patients suffering from diseases like tuberculosis, yellow fever and small pox were quarantined. Later the hospital was used after World War II to house veterans, and then as a treatment facility for heroin addicts. In the early 1960s the hospital closed its doors, and it has since been left to crumble by the forces of nature. Today, the island is closed to the public, as it serves as a nesting colony for black-crowned night herons.

The history of Poveglia Island, a small island between Venice and Lido in Northern Italy. For centuries this small island has been prime real estate for dumping of the dead. The island became a quarantine colony in the 14th century for victims of the Bubonic Plague. In the 19th century, Poveglia became an asylum for the area's mentally ill, where it was rumored that a cruel doctor performed experiments on the patients. Today the island is abandoned, save for the ghosts of the tortured souls that once lived there. Tourists and locals are banned from visiting, unless you want to undergo a lengthy paperwork process. But as this is considered the most haunted place in Italy, that's likely for the best.

A parking lot roof made of 1,500 plastic bottles, USA 
Moon light reflected off mountains 
Factory chimneys 
The white cliffs of Iturup island, Russia 
Snake Island is About 93 miles off the coast of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Researchers estimate there are between one and five snakes here per 10 square feet. The snakes, specifically golden lanceheads, are known for their poison, which literally disintegrates flesh around their bites. Perhaps it's not such a bad thing that you're not allowed to visit there. 
The Tibetan Mastiff is one of the world's most unusual breeds of dogs

Astoundingly reflective water of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia 
The bay in the resort of Novyi Svet, Crimea 
These twin girls, Brielle and Kyrie, were born 12 weeks ahead of their due date. Needing intensive care, they were placed in separate incubators. Kyrie began to gain weight and her health stabilized. But Brielle, born only 2 lbs, had trouble breathing, heart problems and other complications. She was not expected to live. Their nurse did everything she could to make Brielle's health better, but nothing she did was helping her. With nothing else to do, their nurse went against hospital policy and decided to place both babies in the same incubator. She left the twin girls to sleep and when she returned she found a sight she could not believe. She called all the nurses and doctors and this is what they saw (refer to the picture above). As Brielle got closer to her sister, Kyrie put her small little arm around her, as if to hug and support her sister. From that moment on, Brielle's breathing and heart rate stabilized and her health became normal. From then on, they decided to keep both babies together, because when they were together they kept each other alive.
