Beautiful Oriental Building on Lake

Nothing can beat the grandeur of an old well built oriental structure.  This one happens to sit on a lake.  Makes me wish I had a nice piece of Lake Front on a beautiful lake.

Kizhi Russia

Kizhi, Russia is an Island located in the North Western part of Russia.  A bit closer to Europe.  Beautiful setting, lush grass, old churches.   Yes, I said old churches.  These churches and buildings on this Island date back to the 15th century.  Worth a trip if you ask me.

The Great White Shark

Also known as Great White, White Pointer, White Shark and White Death.  Sharks reach maturity at the age of 15 and live to be about 30 years old.  The largest of the sharks have been known to reach lengths of 20 feet or more and weigh in at about 5,000 pounds.

These, are the predators of the deep.  With few natural predators to hunt them down, they've thrived for millions of years.  Here are a few photos depicting their greatness.

Enjoying a Swim.

Now that's shear power.
