Though native to South Asia, and especially India, the peafowl has been introduced all over the Western Hemisphere, Australia, and even in South Africa and Madagascar. The male, known as a peacock, has become a symbol of exotic beauty and its feathers have been used in fashion design for centuries.

Peacocks figure into various Eastern mythologies, with prominent roles in Hindu lore. A peacock, for example, is the steed of Kartikeya, the Hindu god of war. And, as if to demonstrate how far the peacock is distributed throughout the world, Viking warriors were sometimes buried with peacock feathers, and medieval knights of Europe sometimes wore peacock plumes on their armor.

Torcross, on the Devon coast of southwest England, is just about the dictionary definition of an English seaside town. This fishing village on the English Channel has a freshwater lake called Slapton Ley on the west side and a nice stretch of beach called Slapton Sands facing the channel to the east.

Recent storms, especially the Valentine’s Day storm of 2014, have given Torcross and nearby villages a real beating. But Torcross soldiers on, with summer holiday visitors enjoying Slapton Sands and perhaps stopping in one of the local pubs for authentic fish and chips and a pint. Who’s ready to make the trek?

Ancient civilizations used this mountain perch in the south of Spain as a strategic location for fortified settlements, with Romans, Moors, and Visigoths each contributing to the modern-day city we now call Ronda.

Puente Nuevo is the bridge we see on the right side of this picture. It’s one of three bridges that straddle El Tajo canyon, the gap that separates Ronda’s two halves. At the base of El Tajo runs the Guadalevín River, supplying Ronda with water and, these days, another breathtaking scene to delight visitors to the city.

This tranquil scene captures the serenity that can be found on the Spanish island of Menorca (aka Minorca), at least compared to the 24-hour party scene that some other islands in this archipelago are known for. For decades, tourists have flocked to the Balearic Islands of Majorca and Ibiza for their world-famous nightlife. Meanwhile, visitors report that on the more family-friendly Menorca (from the Latin for “small island,” distinguishing it from Majorca’s “large island”), the beaches are less crowded and generally more geared toward a relaxing vacation than a hedonistic weekend.

At Macarelleta Beach, not only can we see the jewel-blue waters of the Mediterranean, but also some of the many caves along Menorca’s coast. Some of the caves extend into the surrounding waters, giving scuba divers something to explore beyond the seabed.

Happy birthday, Hoover Dam! President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated this engineering marvel 80 years ago today, and it still stands as a testament to the ingenuity, perseverance, and sheer hard work of the thousands who labored in harsh conditions for over five years to tame the flow of the mighty Colorado River and turn it into hydroelectric power.

When it was completed, Hoover Dam was the largest dam in the world. It required nearly 88 million cubic feet of concrete, which made it the first single structure to use more masonry than the Great Pyramid of Giza. All that concrete was poured into individual, rectangular-shaped sections that were then cured using over 582 miles of cooling pipes. If the concrete had been poured in a single, continuous pour—and left to cool naturally—it would still be settling today.

The skyline of Kowloon may be the most recognizable part of Hong Kong. Perhaps tonight lightning from Mother Nature will outdo the lights of the city. Still, Kowloon – a region of Hong Kong, but nearly a city of its own – will put up a good fight. Every night its skyscrapers are lit up in sync with music, as part of "A Symphony of Lights," a spectacular multimedia light and sound show that illuminates the Hong Kong waterfront.

On this day in 1805, the Lewis and Clark Expedition arrived near this spot. Believing they had finally reached the Pacific, William Clark wrote in his journal “Ocian [sic] in View! O the joy." But this is the Columbia River Gorge and estuary, and it would be another 17 days before they made camp at the Pacific coast.

If you retrace the famous expedition’s steps along the Columbia, make sure to spend some time in the Crown Point Scenic Corridor, an Oregon state park, seen here on the right side of the photo. The park offers stunning views of the mighty Columbia, which marks the state border with Washington. And the Vista House (perched atop a bluff) offers a bit of shelter if the weather’s not cooperating. Built in 1917, the observatory came more than a century too late for the weary Lewis and Clark team.

If you lived in Cemoro Lawang, the village on the edge of that cliff, the dramatic fog isn’t the only amazing view you’d see each morning. The hamlet looks across the crater and sand sea of Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park in Indonesia. Many visitors use Cemoro Lawang as a last stop before venturing into the park to climb Mount Bromo, one of the active volcanoes in the area.
