Alexander Column In St. Petersburg
From the creator of the marvelous St. Isaac's Cathedral came this monument to the Russian military victory in the war with Napoleon's France. Named after Emperor Alexander I, who ruled Russia between 1801 and 1825 (during the Napoleonic Wars), the column is a terrific piece of architecture and engineering.
The Alexander Column (Aleksandrovskaia Kolonna), the focal point of Palace Square, was designed by the French-born architect Auguste de Montferrand and built between 1830 and 1834. The monument is 155 feet 8 inches tall and is topped with a statue of an angel holding a cross (the face of the angel is said to be modeled on the face of Emperor Alexander I). The body of the column is made of a single monolith of red granite, which stands 83 feet 6 inches high and about 11 feet 5 inches in diameter. It is a terrific feat of engineering that this enormous column, weighing an incredible 1,322,760 pounds (600 tons), was erected in under 2 hours without the aid of modern cranes and engineering machines.
The pedestal of the Alexander Column is decorated with symbols of military glory. The monument is particularly impressive on a sunny evening shortly before dusk, when the last beams of sunlight are reflected in the polished red granite of the column.
VDNKh: a fantastic Moscow park only locals know | Russia 2018 vlog
VDNKh is a Moscow park famous for outdoor and indoor attractions. It was built to represent the countries part of the Soviet Union and exhibit their achievements, and now it's a great place to enjoy both winter and summer in Moscow, Russia. (2018 vlog)
VDNKh (or VDNH) is among the best places to visit in Moscow, although few foreigners know about it. It's worth seeing the gardens, the fountains (if they're turned on!), the Space Pavilion, the Cosmonautics museum and for kids, the aquarium (Moskvarium).
In this vlog, after VDNKh we also visit Ostankino Tower and hotel Ukraina, one of the Seven Sisters.

10個世界最奇特虛幻的岩層
自然是偉大的，人類以不同的形式享受自然資源。它可能是強大的山脈，咆哮的瀑布，茂密的森林，天氣變化或美麗的海灘，我們都渴望與大自然度過，故常常被獨特的岩石所吸引。岩石的獨特性可能在於它們的形狀，組件，位置和它們所代表的美麗景觀。許多巨大的岩石，觀看它們令人嘆為觀止。其中有許多是古老的事件，他們的美麗令人驚嘆，充滿活力。
10個世界最奇特虛幻的岩層
0:38 被雷射切割的巨石
這發現在沙烏地阿拉伯，而且讓專家們困惑不已，一塊巨大的岩石從中間被切成一半，像機器雷射切割般的精準。
1:12 仙人橋石
位於中國的泰山，看起來真是令人難以想像的奇觀異象，這是大自然的傑作，三個石頭巧秒的連接成橋，由外力風化剝蝕和重力崩塌共同作用的一種偶然的巧合。
1:52 奇蹟岩
位於挪威斯塔萬格市境內，呂瑟峽灣深處的謝拉格山上，長久以來一直被卡在海拔984米的兩塊巨岩裂縫中。
2:31 巨人的堤道
巨人堤道在北愛爾蘭一個巨大的海濱地區，是由巨大玄武岩的連鎖柱組成，大多數的柱子都是六角形的。
3:11 平衡石
這位於英國北約克郡伯明罕的荒野上，這裡分布著各種奇形怪狀的平衡石，而這是其中最突出的。
3:51 平衡搖滾
位於加拿大新斯科舍省的聖瑪麗灣某個懸崖，這看起來是一個搖搖欲墜的岩石，好像立刻會掉下來的感覺。
4:25 飛噴泉
位於內華達州的沃肖縣的私人土地上，格拉赫以北約20英里，這個噴發的岩石並非天然形成，而是人造地熱間歇泉。
5:00 分裂的蘋果岩石
位於新西蘭南島北部海岸塔斯曼灣的一個地質岩層。這是一個花崗岩的結構，其外表幾乎就像故意被剖成兩半一般。
5:40 巨魔山
這是挪威Torget島上的一座花崗岩山。其特色就是中間的隧道自然形成並穿過中心。
6:27 被遺棄的隧道
在俄羅斯工業城市葉卡捷琳堡下方650英尺處有一個廢棄的鹽礦，這個被遺棄的隧道看起來像是來自古代文明藝術的場景。

Russia: Out with the old, In with the new - It's raining TVs & fridges in Tomsk
Hundreds of students of the Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radio-electronics (TUSUR) marked the 'Day of Radio' in a very unusual way, Saturday, by throwing out old electronic equipment from the ninth-floor windows of their university dormitory.
This year TUSUR students decided to set a Guinness World Record by throwing out at least five hundred items including refrigerators, washing machines, monitors, vacuum cleaners and other equipment from the ninth floor of the university dorms.
This part of the Day of Radio celebrations is usually regarded as the most exciting and attracts hundreds of citizens of Tomsk, including children. The unusual tradition of throwing out old equipment from windows dates back to 1988. It is thought to symbolise the aspirations of students for technical progress and the invention of new technologies replacing the older.
