Madagascar is home to unique wildlife, a mini-continent full of exotic life forms. Near the city of Morondava on the west coast of Madagascar, there is such a landmark as the ancient forest, the famous Avenue of the Baobabs, a sacred place for the people of Madagascar. Some of the trees here are over a thousand years old. It is a spiritual place, almost magical.

In the Iranian city of Isfahan, 11 bridges have been thrown across the Zayanda River, but the Haju Bridge is considered the most beautiful not only among them, but among many other bridges. One of the most impressive places in Isfahan, one hundred meters long and about eight wide, built in two tiers - the upper one for carts and the lower one for pedestrian purposes - today it is the most popular place for walking Isfahan residents and numerous tourists. It is especially picturesque at night: the bridge is illuminated from all sides as if it were a palace or a mosque, with stunningly beautiful arches and pavilions.
