》St Michael's Mount is a tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

St Michael's Mount is one of 43 unbridged tidal islands that one can walk to from mainland Britain. Part of the island was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995 for its geology.

📍 Waroux Castle (Ans, Belgium🇧🇪)Which picture is your favourite?🤩😍

》Waroux Castle is a castle in Belgium, located in the old region of Hesbaye, in the ancienne commune of Alleur, Ans, Liège Province, Wallonia.

The castle seems to have been built around 1300, during the conflict with the Awans. At first glance, it seems rather austere, ready for war even. The external walls, made of sandstone and flint, high and hostile with only a few slits, betrays its feudal origins.

Waroux was one of the rare circular castles in Belgium. The keep still remains of the medieval structure. For centuries it was the property of the de Waroux family until 1525, when it died by marriage. In 1696 it was apparently acquired by the De Clerkx de Waroux family, who remained the owners until 1925. The castle became the property of the commune of Ans in 2005.

📍 Avukana Statue (Kekirawa, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰)Which picture is your favourite?🤩😍

》The Avukana statue is a standing statue of the Buddha near Kekirawa in North Central Sri Lanka. The statue, which has a height of more than 14 m, was carved out of a large granite rock face during the 5th century.

The Avukana statue is one of the best examples of a standing statue built in Sri Lanka. It is now a popular tourist attraction.

The Avukana statue is widely believed to have been constructed in the 5th century. There is another nearby standing statue of the Buddha, quite similar to the Avukana statue, at Sasseruwa. According to legend, the two statues are the result of a competition between a stone sculpting guru (master) and gola (pupil).

The story goes that the master constructed the Avukana statue, while the pupil made the statue at Sasseruwa. The first to complete his statue had to notify the other by ringing a bell. The master managed to complete his statue first and won the competition. This is said to be why the Sasseruwa statue is unfinished.

The Avukana statue is considered to be the better of the two, and similarities between them have led historians to believe that the story is actually true.
