The United States Mississippi River Source: inside the secret

Come back, see a few children make nothing of into the river, water depth is less than half a foot. Splashing and laughter, the children hopped across the great Mississippi river. Maybe these kids, just start from here, with the flow of the Mississippi, with the river of years, to their own wonderful life. Twenty thousand years ago, the last glacial period in the North American land ablation, countless times back and forth to caress, glaciers receded, leaving today in Minnesota, the land of ten thousand lakes. Abundant water resources to support the lush vegetation, the growth of a wild profusion of vegetation around the forest, the green world, those numerous scattered Lake hidden by trees, quietly lost trail.

The source of the river

Find Geoff at the airport, he was busy doing takeoff safety inspection before. His Cessna just finished from the inside to the outside of the overhaul, the cabin diffuse new leather. Geoff was an airline pilot, retirement is very active, when the forest volunteer observers with their small plane, every day God flying hours, from the air monitoring of forest condition and potential fire and epidemic. We climbed into the cockpit, buckle the safety belt, Geoff on the side of the runway of the office of the Secretary of the walkie-talkie beckoned, confirm the flight course and a predetermined height. The accelerator, the engine roar began to shake, roll up.

Across the Mississippi

Minnesota blue sky, the clouds slowly drifting. The flying height of only a few hundred meters, Geoff's eyes looked up and down the wing under the forest, I tried to watch the forest nestled in the still water of the lake. I'm looking for a small lake, is hiding in the forest, the Mississippi River Heyuan Itasca (Lake Itasca).

In nineteenth Century, the steam ship black smoke has the shuttle in the middle and lower reaches of the river. The river is a river, can go ship good, for new immigrants and businessmen, water trickling where Heyuan is, it is a little problem. Until 1832, in order to solve the upper Mississippi River inter-tribal disputes, in charge of Indian affairs official Henry Schoolcraft led the expedition team up, white feet into the area, the first several twists and turns, finally determined the river the mystery of life. Schoolcraft has a culture of Indian, found in the Heyuan location, he will be two Latin words opened the one, true (Veritas) and the origin (Caput), created a Indian context words Itasca (Itasca), named the Mississippi River and the lake water source.

Lake Itasca is really very humble. At the airport to bid farewell to Geoff, drive through the dense forest. It is a bright, through the parking lot, over a small bridge, went to the met in the photo on the countless rivers source. Heyuan is just a stream, meandering flow of faint deep grass. The streams of stake nailed a sign: the great Mississippi River from 1475 feet above sea level rises to here, it flows to the Gulf of Mexico 2552 mile road.

The Lake Itasca, few are placed in the water stone blocks, is the first "bridge over the Mississippi river". Look, the distance between the pier is suitable for walking across, and boldly crooked through, then completes the first crossing the river trip.

The Mississippi River from this little creek flows south through theThe United States of America9 the central part of the state, began a natural way from the United States of America, the north to the south, the Mississippi Valley covering the United States local area of nearly half; it opens up a culture Road, from the new world exploration development to the civil war and then to today still retains the traditional, Mississippi River bearing with the United States of America thousands of years of indigenous culture, more is the main artery in today's American society.

Come back, see a few children make nothing of into the river, water depth is less than half a foot. Splashing and laughter, the children of several jumping over the great Mississippi river. Maybe these kids, just start from here, with the flow of the Mississippi, with the river of years, to belong to their wonderful life.

The lost Angkor Empire Kampuchea Temple relief such as blood sun

The evening sky by black spots far and near is dozens of gorgeous moustached Parakeet, they areKampucheaA tropical rainforest, greedy and noise, the wings like a luxurious cloak, almost wiping the Bakheng temple roof sandstone relief. These guys off her flying skills, let a person thoughts thronged one's mind. That, ten centuries ago, the monks had looked at the noisy birds flying to the temple side of the tree, act recklessly and care for nobody to eat fruit...... To the monks hard and lonely practice brings a moment of joy.

Bayon

But now, everywhere around the temple site is all sorts of color of the tourists and selling fruit, beverage vendors, even the driver, the crowded like a can of sardines, of course, also has a comfortable place -- if you are willing to spend tens of dollars, could be sitting in a hot air balloon to rise and red-breasted parakeet. Height, drinking freshly squeezed sugar cane juice, from the birds perspective to appreciate the magnificent sunset melt gold.

However, most people still in the sticky sweat, waiting for the sunset, waiting for the symbol of Angkor empire's glory years Angkor temple is like blood sun render to the extreme moment. I think, that is the twilight of the gods......

Rain forest in the stunning architecture

The tourists reflection is the fish crumbled in the lotus pond, hot a day of rain forest began to cool down, the last sunset sweeps in hall hall, sandstone relief on the stone as if just completed, where carved Angkor's most famous fairy tale -- mixing milk sea.

Lai King platform carved

This sounds a bit strange noun is Gods and Demons wars ", in this epic grand stone giant painting, 88 demons and 92 wearing gold Kui God is stirring the sea to extract ever-young elixir of life, both sides are trying to get this kind of a ready-made panacea. The giant snake entrenched in the sea center Mandala mountains, gods and demons in the serpent rope to haul the mandala mountains, stir the water.

WhileIndiaTeach God -- the god Vishnu is the embodiment of a giant turtle, its shell as the fulcrum of the mandala mountains...... Brahma, Shiva, Hanuman appeared on the battlefield, the air there are countless fairy song and dance to help, of course, the gods won the final victory, perhaps, the devil is due to air a graceful fairy was restless defeated......

More than 3000 charming Abu Sara (Fairy) in nearly every corner of Angkor, only their hair has 30 a variety of, such as the stone in the nine century and still wash with every audience's heart, majestic atmosphere of the scene almost people do not know what year.

The Angkor Wat are fully qualified and at the same time, any construction works period put on a par with, as Angkor Dynasty heyday representative of the building, it is the perfect combination of inspiration, passion for creation myth, superb technology. The heyday of the Angkor Empire grand, including today's Burma andVietnamThe part of the territory. As the Khmer Empire political, religious, social and cultural center, there lived a million population, but the same timeLondonIt is only a 50000 people of small towns.

At that time, God and people lived together in this vast rainforest. The difference is, all mortal can include only the king, live with wood built buildings, whether it is the king's palace or the people's houses are so, only the gods can live to be constructed by sandstone temple.

After several centuries, only God's residence still stands, engraved in the rock on the Abu Sara (Fairy) still face the mysterious and awful smile. People pilgrims and worship of the Angkor Wat, let the world's greatest religious buildings not in the true sense of being abandoned.

St Petersburg built more than 300 years, but in the eyes of the Russians, the hand built by Peter the Great Northern Shuicheng have many stories to tell. The winter day short and dark summer night, but long and bright. In St Petersburg, be too numerous to enumerate such phenomenon. It is these seemingly contradictory but very natural thing nourishes the city.

Watertown story

In a coffee shop to meet Pushkin

The city was named for one of the twelve disciples of St. Peter's city by czar Peter the great built in eighteenth Century inFinlandBay, the "NorthernVenice"Said. St Petersburg is the world's all have more than a million residents of the city in the north, a population of about 5000000. St Petersburg area is much smaller than in Moscow, the city also obviously different. The ancient building tsarist everywhere, spectacular and beautiful: the building external wall of almost all different forms of sculpture, garden can often see different bronze statue of a man, such as Peter, Pushkin and Lenin.

St Petersburg is Russia's most cosmopolitan city, with broad square, magnificent churches and reminiscent of the czar of Russia during the tender yellow building. Because here is the site, so the history many famous events have taken place in the city, including the 1917 Winter Palace that became known as the "October revolution" of the storm.

The 4.5 km long Neva street is St. Petersburg's most famous historic district, right, is the origin of the name of Gogol Bernard P famous novel "Nevsky Avenue". Building the most prominent 18-20 century focused on both sides of the road. Wide Neva street corner, Mo ICA canal, located in the famous "literary coffee". Here is the original "Wolf and Berange sweet shop", Pushkin often come here to drink coffee. Pushkin has a special liking for St Petersburg, in his short life, nearly half of the time is spent in St Petersburg. His masterpiece, "Eugene Onegin" is completed in St Petersburg. In January 27, 1837, Pushkin is from the sweet shop have the last cup of coffee, and directly to a duel location "Heihe". Not only that, Lermontov, Dostoevsky, Shevchenko etc is often here by. Now the shop still retains the original appearance, the other end of the hall, there is a real plastic size Pushkin seated wax. The poet was wearing a beautiful coat, his right hand holding a quill.

The fortress

The magnificent bridge

But this time, I have no time and Pushkin drink a cup of coffee, I only have 24 hours to the city. So the morning arrived, I decided to go to see the bridge in the legend.

St Petersburg area waterways crisscross, more than 700 delicate bridges will be more than 40 islands skillfully connected, each has a beautiful name, bank bridge,EgyptRomano bridge, cable bridge, the husband alesander,ItalyBridge, Royal Bridge, lion bridge, bridge and kiss. But best of all, 21 of which in the night will open to let the ship sailed.

Russia's most of the time in a year is winter, even in these times, St Petersburg is still exudes inexhaustible charm. You can't imagine, late at night in the city was brilliantly illuminated. Many famous buildings are colorful lights shrouded, both sides of the river filled with people to watch the open bridge. During the day, people drive freely in all shuttle between the islands. And at night, all on the river Neva bridge will be raised high, let the passing ships queuing through. The Neva River segments in different shades, bridge and some from both sides open, some from the side opening. Garnish each bridge has a different style of lights.

At one thirty in the morning, the most famous of the Winter Palace Bridge opened, two sections of the intermediate deck like two arms, began to slowly open on both sides, on both sides of the people began to shout, the river was full of waiting for the bridge boat. With the development of people cheering louder, other bridge on the river began to slowly open, far away from the ship's whistle......

Night to open the bridge to facilitate the incoming ships, but also make the islands of the St Petersburg between the onshore traffic interruption. But this also let young people in St Petersburg have reasons not to go home, because if you don't have to come home at 2 in the morning before, will have to wait until 5 Bridge closed later.

St Petersburg by Tsar Peter the great built in eighteenth Century in the Gulf of Finland, "North Venice" said. In the city the garden can often see different bronze statue of a man, such as Peter, Pushkin and Lenin.

India children's wife: child bride secret life (Photos)

IndiaDry northern rural areas, an illegal marriage is secret, keep secret the things outside, only invited friends to know. Plus, wedding ceremony is usually held at night, therefore, until the afternoon, three girls bride began to prepare for the night of the sacred ceremony. A group of female hands Sari cloth pulls the curtain is temporary, the three girls in the three side by side, squatting on the ground, using iron ladle soap water from the head under the water. Among the two bride, 15 year-old LADA and 13 year old town are two sisters, their age has been able to understand what is happening. And the third little girls, their niece Lajiani, only 5 years old. She wore a pink T-shirt, a shoulder decorated with butterfly pattern. A man to help her undress bathing in order to.

She is 11 years old this year, today is her wedding day. In northern Yemen, Hajjah Governorate, Bathilda Ba first put on make-up, handmade wedding dress.

The bridegroom are came all the way from their village. According to the traditional custom groom should ride an elephant or holding the horses into the wedding scene, but no one can afford to pay such a high price, so they go and come, get off be bursting with happiness, drunk. The only one ever seen the local people is the two oldest girl's father, was a tall, grey-haired farmers, wears a long beard. I called the farmers to Mr. M. Guests along the mountain road quick succession, to support the gorgeous silk bamboo pergola built under. Mr. M look at the crowd, be in high glee and alert. He knew that, if a reluctance to accept bribes the police found the ongoing activities, wedding may be forced to stop, the family was arrested, and the family so ashamed.

Rajani is Mr. M's granddaughter, the daughter is married children. She has a round brown eyes, broad nose, skin like chocolate cream. She lived with his grandparents. According to the India rural custom, Rajani's mother moved to her husband's village, and her husband, Rajani's father, was rumored to be a misdemeanor farmers, and alcoholism. The villagers said, grandfather of Mr. M's love Lajiani, which can be seen from his behavior: he put Lajiani betrothed to a decent house, her aunt LADA also married into this house, so that, when "the wedding" (India tradition marks the bride away from family, childhood formal living in her husband's ceremony) after her will not be lonely. India girls in childhood usually wait until after marriage, the bride entered puberty to host "the wedding", so Rajani will be with my grandparents live together for a few years. The villagers said, Mr. M by publicly announced his granddaughter married way to protect her invasion from before adulthood, is a good deed.

During the late spring of traditional IndiaThe holidayDuring the rainy season is approaching, therefore, is regarded as the wedding day. We sadly looking at 5 years old Lajiani: this T-shirt girl, wearing her pink sunglasses, walk around in bare feet, and midnight wedding a bride. Bring us to the village men is Mr. M's cousin, he had only to inform us of the upcoming is a pair of teenage sister's wedding. Only the source itself has a risk, because in accordance with the laws of India, 18 years old of the following young girl can't get married. However, the girl once enter adolescence, led to illegal wedding Tricks (such as the neighborhood help conceal, to keep the family name to the police. Etc.) are more likely to work. The youngest girl is usually been quietly adding wedding, name mentioned not in the invitation, they are your own wedding keep secret of second or third bride. Before the ceremony, Lajiani again sink into dreamland, uncle gently took her from the bed picked up on the shoulder, in the moonlight, her to the wedding guests, to face the Hindu priest, the smoke, sitting on plastic chairs, and her future husband -- with a golden hair 10 years old boy.

Outsiders to rescue the child bride impulse often be a trend which cannot be halted: grab the girl, stun next to the adults, then decamp. To make it stop. My desk at the top of the wall with a Lajiani married that night photos. It was dusk, from 6 hours to start the wedding, she turned to the camera, eyes wide, without the slightest worried eyes, with the smile on the. I remember that night, rescue little bride dream in my head -- not only save Lajiani surge (a person I can carry her on the shoulder away), and the 13 and 15 year old sister. Just because a group of adult men made their future, the sisters will be like merchandise from a transferred to another.

Some people do not understand the situation assumed that, against child marriage, life is not easy for women in traditional society to improve the stubborn, however the cause for people working full-time, first of all to overthrow this kind of wrong understanding. Today, early marriage phenomenon mandatory still exist in many parts of the world -- by parents for their children do, often violate the law, but by the local almost all people understand, they think this is the proper way to young women growing, because the society can not accept the girl misfortune (especially when this is not detected contains let the virginity fall into the hands of others risk the consequences).

The phenomenon of child marriage spans continents, language, religion and class. In India, girls are often married to his four or five years older than boys; while in the high rate of early marriage in Yemen, Afghanistan and other countries, the husband may be young men and middle-aged widower, even to rape victims, the wife kidnapping -- in some areas of Ethiopia is the custom. Some marriages as commercial transactions: 8 year-old bride clear debt, in 12 year old virgin cousin to resolve family disputes. These deeds once in public exposure, he jumped on the distant country newspaper headlines, a striking and sparked public anger story. In 2008, 10 year-old Yemen girl Nuozhu.AliOne person came to the city court, application and their thirties husband divorce, the marriage was father forced her to run. The matter on newspapers around the world headlines, recently gave birth to a book -- "my name is Nuozhu, 10 years old, divorced", the book has been translated into 30 languages.
