Switzerland doesn't look real – a thread 🧵

1. Many scholars believe that Tolkien's 1911 hike through Lauterbrunnen directly inspired the valley of Rivendell in The Lord of the Rings.

2. Grindelwald and its unreal Alpine landscape

3. Canton of Obwalden

Emerald hills, homes straight from a fairytale, and the turquoise waters of Lake Lungern, all set against a backdrop of forested mountains.

The first documented reference to the village of Lungern appears in an 800-year-old tax register from Germany.

Cherry blossoms in Japan 🧵

1. A tunnel of sakura-shaped bulbs in Mie

2. Kawagoe, Saitama

Sakura typically refers to the flowers of ornamental cherry trees, rather than those cultivated for their fruit.

It is Japan's national flower and plays a key role in the tradition of hanami.

3. Hanami is a cherished Japanese tradition that celebrates the ephemeral beauty of cherry (sakura) and plum (ume) blossoms, typically from late March to early May.

In modern-day Japan, it mostly consists of having an outdoor party beneath the sakura during daytime or at night.

Italy's most stunning fountains - a thread 🧵

1. This fountain in L'Aquila was designed to look like it's pouring lava for a brief time each day when the sun hits it at just the right angle.

2. Trevi Fountain

The Aqua Virgo, built by Agrippa in 19 BC, still supplies water to the fountain more than two millennia later.

Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, this Baroque marvel is one of the most iconic fountains in the world.

3. The Praetorian Fountain, Palermo

Originally built in 1544 in Florence by Francesco Camilliani, it was sold, relocated, and reassembled in Sicily in 1574.

Giorgio Vasari described it as "a magnificent fountain without equal in Florence, or perhaps even in all of Italy."

The most beautiful domes on Earth 🧵

1. Church of St. Joachim's starry dome, Rome

2. The Pantheon, Rome

Nearly two millennia since its construction, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.

Roman concrete's longevity comes from "self-healing" lime clasts that dissolve in water and recrystallize to repair cracks.
