Step onto the Wild Side with Chicago


The must visit Islands and beaches in Philippines


the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California.

The Hollywood Bowl is a modern amphitheater (like the Greek amphitheaters but...bigger) and is located in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California. 
It also just so happens to be the largest amphitheater in the country and can sit 18,000 people for any music performance. But, my guess is that most people don't even go for the show; the go for the drive to the theater. The road leading up to the amphitheater is shaped like a musical note. Coincidence? I think not!

This region offers the cleanest and most pristine beaches in Italy and is filled with quaint beaches and picturesque towns, including
Tyrrhenian Coast of Calabria (pictured below). The spectacular rocky cliffs + fine white sand = Paradise!

gondolas on Burano Island

There are a lot of channels and gondolas on Burano Island, but it became famous for its vivid buildings painted with various colours.
Nobody knows whose idea it was to colour the buildings. The legend says that 
it were fishermen, who decided to do it. They got tired of searching for their houses and people turned them into the bright constructions, which are seen from afar.
You can see blue, red, yellow, green and even pink houses there, but the Island's citizens can't choose the colours - government selects them itself.


the beach of Rio-de-Janeiro

Unusual works of art appeared on the beach of Rio-de-Janeiro. These architectural installations in the shape of three huge fish, made of just simple plastic bottles.They look especially beautiful at sunset, when they're illuminated with red and blue lights. 
The main isea of this work was to remind people about the problem of environment pollution.
