Multnomah Falls
Multnomah Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge, just east of Portland, Oregon. The water drops 620 feet from top to bottom. The stone bridge and lush greenery makes it look like a scene from a fantasy novel. When the water levels are low, the water seems to disappear as it falls -- it turns into a mist before it hits the bottom. In the winter, this waterfall sometimes freezes either in part or entirely.

The Rio-Antirrio Bridge
The bridge is officially called the Charilaos Trikoupis Bridge after the statesman who first envisioned it in the early 1880's. It crosses the Gulf of Corinth near Patras, linking the town of Rio on the Peloponnese peninsula to Antirrio on mainland Greece by road. Photo taken 6/15/2016 from the Antirrio side of the bridge.

Liliuokalani Gardens
This 30-acre Japanese garden was dedicated in 1917 as a tribute to Hawaii's first Japanese immigrants who worked in the Hawaii Island sugar cane fields.

Shinkyo Bridge, Nikko, Japan
The Shinkyo Bridge (Shinkyo, "sacred bridge") stands at the entrance to Nikko's shrines and temples. The bridge is ranked as one of Japan's finest bridges. The current Shinkyo was constructed in 1636, but a bridge of some kind had marked the same spot for much longer, although its exact origins are unclear. Until 1973, Shinkyo was off limits to the general public. It underwent extensive renovation works in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and visitors can now walk across the bridge and back. The photo was taken just after the bridge re-opened to the public. (photo: @Park)
