Lake Sørvágsvatn in Faroe Islands
Sørvágsvatn (or Leitisvatn) is the biggest lake of the Faroe Islands, situated on the island of Vágar. It covers an area of 3.4 square km, more than three times the size of the second biggest lake Fjallavatn, which also lies on the island of Vágar.
The picture you see below is actually an optical illusion. It appears as if the lake is significantly higher than the ocean. In real, the lake is only 30 meter above the sea level, but the cliff facing the camera is 100 meters high. The position of the camera and the angle of the shot makes it seem like the lake is about the same level as the cliff.

Motor Vehicles are Prohibited in Hydra island Only Transport is by Donkey and Bicycle
Hydra Island - the only Greek island, where motor vehicles are prohibited. And then, tell the author of this interesting excursion. There were no cars, no motorcycles or scooters, or anything that growls and exudes the air exhaust. There's not even a bike (I do not know what it is they do not please). The only means of transportation on the island are boats (for movement by sea), mules and donkeys to move directly to the island. Donkeys carry tourists here and local officials goods in shops and mail, people in distant villages and their luggage ...
No cars are allowed in Hydra, so the only transport is by donkey, bicycle or foot.
