Pond Sørvágsvatn in Faroe Islands


Sørvágsvatn (or Leitisvatn) is the greatest body of water of the Faroe Destinations, located on the isle of Vágar. It protects an area of 3.4 rectangle km, more than three times the dimension the second greatest body of water Fjallavatn, which also can be found on the isle of Vágar.
The image you see below is actually an visual impression. It's as if the river is considerably greater than the beach. In real, the river is only 30 gauge above the sea stage, but the ledge experiencing the photographic camera is 100 measures high. The place of the photographic camera and the place of the taken creates it seem like the river is about the same stage as the ledge.

Here is an airborne taken of Pond Sørvágsvatn that gives a better image.

The river itself is nothing amazing, other than being the greatest one on Faroe Destinations.  It’s over 6 km long. The headlands on either side of the Lake drop precipitously from heights of 252 and 376 m. into the North Atlantic. From this viewpoint, we also have a head-on perspective of the Bøsdalafossur fountain, which is the Lake's store into the beach. Far away northern and eastern of the Pond offer views of strong components of the isle of Streymoy.
Among the residents there is a intense controversy regarding the name of the river. The population of Sørvágur take satisfaction in the point that the river is known as after their town. However, the population of Miðvágur want to name the river Leitisvatn, since, on their part of the river, the area together with the lake is known as Leiti.
Today it may seem unusual to contact the river Sørvágsvatn given the truth, that the town of Miðvágur is located nearer to the river, than the town of Sørvágur. The description to this is that the town of Sørvágur was resolved before Miðvágur.
The residents mostly reference Sørvágsvatn/Leitisvatn basically by getting in touch with it 'the Lake' (Vatni). Among the population on the isle everyone knows what 'the Lake' is, and it is mostly when individuals from other components of the Faroes reference the river - either by getting in touch with it Sørvágsvatn or Leitisvatn—that the controversy will happen.

Witley Park’s Underwater Ballroom

Between Godalming and Haslemere, in Surrey, near the English village of Witley, once stood one of the most lavish private residences in the world —the Witley Park. Originally called Lea Park, it belonged to a man named Whitaker Wright who made his fortune by defrauding shareholders of hundreds of million pounds —not once, but twice in two different continents. At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.

11 Foot 8 Inches: The Infamous ‘Can Opener’ Bridge

At 11 foot 8 inches, the Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass, located in Durham, North Carolina, United States, is a bit too short. The federal government recommends that bridges on public roads should have a clearance of at least 14 feet. But when this railroad trestle was built in the 1940s, there were no standards for minimum clearance. As a result, trucks would frequently hit the bridge and get its roof scrapped off.
