Massive Birds Nests on telephone poles in the Kalahari Desert South Africa, a native bird called the sociable weaver bird constructs massive nests that from a distance, look like a giant haystack that's fallen into a tree. These nests are the largest built by any bird and are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds. Some sociable weaver nests have remained occupied for several generations spanning over 100 years.

28th December 1065 - The consecration of Westminster Abbey.

The Collegiate Church of St Peter at Westminster, commonly known as Westminster Abbey is neither an abbey nor a cathedral. Since 1560 it has been a Royal Peculiar, a church which is directly answerable to the reigning Sovereign.

It is thought that a Christian church was first built on the site in the 7th Century. It is known that a community of Benedictine Monks were installed here soon after 960 AD.

King Edward the Confessor initiated the building of a grand church on the site, to be called St Peter’s Abbey. Edward was too ill to attend the consecration service. He died one week later and became the first Monarch to be buried in the abbey.

The current Gothic style building dates from 1245.

The Alta Via del Sale is a spectacular ex-military dirt road that connects the Piedmont and French Alps to the Ligurian Sea , it winds between 1800 and 2100 meters above sea level along the main Alpine watershed near the Italian-French border, crossing halfway up the mountain, Alpine passes, hairpin bends and daring passages.

The route, entirely unpaved , connects Limone Piemonte , in the Province of Cuneo, and Monesi di Triora in mountainous Liguria for a total length of about 30 km. The route is open to pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles in the summer months, after the snow has melted, and in autumn (with the exception of a few days of the week when the Via del Sale is reserved for pedestrians and cyclists only). - altaviadelsale.com
