Views: Blue Mountain Lakes In Afghanistan
The winter landscape around the deep, blue mountain lakes of Band-e-Amir in the central Afghan province of Bamiyan presents an arresting spectacle empty of people – but the absence of visitors is costing locals dearly.
Band-e Amir, situated around 3,000 metres (9,840 ft) above sea level and a couple of hours drive from the renowned Buddhist sites of Bamiyan, usually attracts thousands of visitors a year seeking respite from the endless conflict.
All that changed this year as the Taliban swept through one province after another, culminating in the shock overthrow of the Western-backed government in Kabul in August and plunging the economy into crisis as vital foreign aid dried up.

Best Of Texas: The San Antonio River Walk
The San Antonio River Walk (also referred to as the riverwalk or Paseo del Río in Spanish) is a 15 mile long network of walkways which run alongside the banks of the San Antonio river. Five miles of the River Walk runs through downtown San Antonio.
The River Walk is home to attractions, shops, and restaurants, and is today a major San Antonio attraction in its own right.
The history of the riverwalk is fairly long, but its beginning can be traced back to a tragic flood on the San Antonio river in 1921, which killed 50 people.
Views: 10 Beautiful Places In Cornwall, England

A fleet of breath-taking tall ships which anchor in the harbour conjure images of a bygone era and add to Charlestown’s charm.
