There is a 'most famous' website. It is worldfamousthings.org is where you will find bridges, castles, facts about animals, towers, tourist attractions, towers in history, roller coasters, floating underwater tunnels in Norway, carnivorous plants. Underwater tunnels in Norway?
Norway's underwater floating tunnel was 'being planned' in January 2019. It is a $40 billion infrastructure project to make the route between two sites 'ferry-free'.
An article written January 6 2020, says the world's deepest subsea tunnel - The Ryfylke tunnel - has opened in Norway. It is 292 metres below sea level and is 14.4 km long.
They are really moving along with these tunnels - the Hundvag tunnel and the Eiganes tunnel were due to open in February 2020 according to a September 2019 article.
The National Post shows the many bridges and tunnels that will/are being built along the Highway E39 route which connects the north and south Norwegian cities. The entire project is planned to be completed in 2025.
We're looking at the Creighton House wisteria arbour in Jordan earlier in the week. It is more than 150 long and is over 100 years old. Pauline Creighton told me the story of the stone - it was used for horse coaches and would have been on the other side of the sidewalk. It found its way back to the original house after spending some years on a farm up on the escarpment.
I have to tell you about the silly string creature in the ocean off Australia. It showed up on the Weather network a few weeks ago. It is a giant siphonophore Apolemia, that looks like silly string. It is 150 feet long. New Zealand's common name for it is long stringy stingy thingy. It is many thousands of individuals which form an entity on a higher level. It is a string jellyfish.
I don't remember having silly string as a child. It is a mixture that is dispersed from an aerosol can. It comes out as a a string. It was invented in 1972. What Leonard Fish and Robert Cox were trying to invent was an instant cast. When the string shot across the room about 30 feet, they turned it into a toy. Who owns it today? The Car-Freshner Corporation, the maker of Little Trees owns the Silly String trademark.
We have a pretty rose arbour from Filoli Gardens, south of San Francisco near Half Moon Bay.
