Angel Falls
Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela. It is the world's highest
waterfall, with a height of 979 m (3,212 ft). The waterfall drops over
the edge of the Auyantepui mountain in the Canaima National Park. Hiking
trails to this place does not exist.
It was spotted in 1912 by the Venezuelan explorer Ernesto Sánchez La Cruz, but he did not publicize his discovery. It was not known to the outside world until American aviator Jimmie Angel flew over it on November 16, 1933 on a plane while he was searching for a valuable ore bed.
4 years later the plane with Jimmie Angel and his three companions, including his wife, was damaged when the wheels sank into the marshy ground, while Angel tried to land his monoplane at the peak of the Auyantepui mountain. It took them 11 days to make their way back to civilization, but news of their adventure spread, and the waterfall was named Angel Falls in his honor.
Angel's plane remained on top of the Auyantepui for 33 years before being lifted out by helicopter. It was restored at the Aviation Museum in Maracay and now sits outdoors on the front of the airport at Ciudad Bolívar.

indahnya taj mahal
Taj mahal merupakan sebuah istana yang menyimpan kisah serita dan kebudayaan yang apik. Di bangun pada tahun 1630 oleh 22.000 pekerja yang baru bisa disiapkan selama 22 tahun. Taj mahal yang terletak di Agra, sekitar 120 kilometer dari kota Delhi, segaja dibangun sebagai tempat peristirahatan seorang wanita yang dikenal dengan nama Mum Taj Mahal. Taj mahal juga merupakan salah satu dari tujuh keajaiban dunia.
Hal ini membuat tempat ini selalu ramai dikunjungi apalagi disaat musim libur tiba. Kemegahan istana ini dibangun dari marmer putih yang menjulang tinggi kearah langit. Yang paling dikaumi para pengunjug dari Taj Mahal adalah kisah cinta yang disebut-sebut sebagai kisah cinta yang abadi sepanjang masa. Menurut AirPano, perusahaan foto udara, Sejak 15 tahun yang lalu tak ada seorangpun yang diijinkan terbang dan memotret di atas Bangunan megah itu.
Namun, perusahaan ini memberanikan diri untuk meminta izin mengabadikan momen-momen Taj Mahal dari udara. AirPano membuat proposal dan mengajukannya kepada pemerintah setempat. Dan setelah dua bulan diterimanya proposal, perusahaan yang berbasis di Moskow ini mendapat izin untuk memotret dari atas Taj Mahal.
Berikut hasil jepretan dari perusahaan AirPano tersebut.
