The air quality was pretty bad on our day at Lake Baikal so not too many pictures are included. Still, it was athrill to visit Earth's deepest lake!Northern Mongolia and is rolling hills.

I had never heard of this town before seeing the post on Geoengineer.org. Setenil de las Bodegas is a small town of about 3,000 people in the Spanish province of Cadiz. The town is built within the narrow gorge cut by the Rio Trejo. Some of the buildings in the town are built into caves and beneath rock overhangs making this a very dramatic, and exotic European town! [Source: More info at Geoengineer.org. Image: La Pantera via
