Views: The Beauty And Isolation Of Rutog, Tibet
A trip to the most remote area of Tibet, western Tibet, and the small Rutog County that lies on the China National Highway 219 (Xinjiang – Tibet). Located 4300 meters above sea level, Rutog County is 1200 km away from Lhasa. Almost no tourists will come to this place.
However, if you are going to Mount Kailash or plan to have an overland tour from Xinjiang to Tibet (or vice versa), it is a place worth visiting. The highlights of Rutog County include the Pangong Tso Lake, the ancient Rutog Rock Painting, the Rutog Fortress, and the Monastery. You can feel the origin of Tibet here, which is isolated from the outside modern world for a long time.
On the edge of the Himalayas, Rutog County, as well as the whole of western Tibet, is one of the most inhospitable areas on the planet with high altitude, deserted mountains, and a harsh climate. But for many wild animals, it is actually heaven or the Shambala. In uninhabited western Tibet, you could see kinds of wild animals on the way, like the wild yaks, Tibetan wild donkeys, Tibetan antelope, etc.

Village Walks: Corippo In Ticino, Switzerland (4K)
Corippo is a mountain village in the Verzasca valley some 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from Locarno, at the north end of the artificial Lake Vogorno and 20 km (12 mi) from the border with Italy. The houses are built from the local Ticino granite with slate roofs and have changed little for several hundred years, leading the Italian writer Piero Bianconi to describe Corippo as “Verzasca’s gentlest village”.
Its early 17th century Church of the Blessed Virgin Annunciata (later the Blessed Virgin Carmine) was extended in the late eighteenth century. Corippo’s architectural value has caused the entire village centre to be placed under a conservation order, and in 1975 the European Architectural Heritage Congress named the village as an “exemplary model” for historical preservation. Corippo was originally part of the larger parish and commune of Vogorno (though maintaining a certain degree of autonomy), before becoming a fully independent municipality in 1822. The village first became connected to the wider world in 1883 when a road was built linking it to the Verzasca valley road.
Aerial Views: Roosevelt Island, New York (4K)
Roosevelt Island, island in the East River, between the boroughs of Manhattan and Queens, New York City. Administratively part of Manhattan, it is 1.5 miles (about 2.5 km) long and 1/8 mile wide, with an area of 139 acres (56 hectares). In 1637 the Dutch governor Wouter van Twiller bought the island from the Indians, who called it Minnahanonck. In 1828 the city acquired it and built a workhouse and penitentiary, which became notorious. Formerly known as Blackwell’s Island, it was renamed Welfare Island in 1921, and in 1973 its name was again changed to honour President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934 the old institutions were replaced by city hospitals. In the 1970s the island was connected to Manhattan by an aerial tramway system, and moderate-income housing and shopping complexes were constructed there. A bridge connects the island to Queens.
