Abraham Lake, Alberta, Canada


Abraham Lake is an artificial lake on North Saskatchewan River in western Alberta, Canada. The lake and it's beautiful surroundings becomes a spectacular site during winter. The temperatures may fall below -30 degrees Celsius making the lake freeze. However, it is not the ice that makes it amazing.
The decaying plants on the lake bed release methane gas, bubbles of which are trapped just below the surface as the lake begins to freeze.These trapped bubbles give the lake a surreal look. The lake has become popular among photographers because of this.

Prora : Hitler's Dream of a Nazi Beach Resort

Stretching for over three miles along the white sandy beach on Germany's Baltic Sea island of Ruegen, lies the world’s biggest hotel with 10,000 bedrooms all facing the sea. But for 70 years since it was built, no holiday maker has ever stayed there. This is hotel Prora, a massive building complex built between 1936 and 1939 by the Nazis as part of their "Strength through Joy" ("Kraft durch Freude," KdF) programme. The aim was to provide leisure activities for German workers and spread Nazi propaganda. Locals call Prora the Colossus because of its monumental structure.

You will be landing on the northeastern portion of the island and the pilot needs to consider the very strong winds and 1,300 feet only of runway. A perfect landing will be great. Shorting the runway can spell disaster towards the cliffs. Overshooting the runway will force a go around which may require some Dramamine.
