Perched on a sun-drenched slope in Eltville am Rhein, Kloster Eberbach stands as a masterpiece of Cistercian architecture, founded in 1136 by twelve monks seeking isolation and spiritual rigor. The abbey is famous for its vast, column-free Romanesque grain barn and its historic wine cellars, which have been producing Rheingau Rieslings for nearly nine centuries, making it a pivotal site in the his
Tin Pan Theater is a beloved arthouse cinema owned by BendFilm in the historic district of Bend, Oregon. The intimate 28 seat theater is adorned with red velvet old-fashioned seats that can best be enjoyed with the best home-made popcorn you've ever had. The small in-room concessions also serve up other classic movie fare including candy, soda, and local beer and wine on tap! Along with independen
The humble glow worm is, in fact, a catchall term for numerous glowing creatures, from gnat larvae to fire flys to algae, that can be found all over the world. These tiny critters illuminate the night through bioluminescence, a process in which light is emitted by internal chemical reactions. Bioluminescence has evolved independently in over 90 different species, first emerging some 540 million ye

The Portsmouth Floodwall Murals were painted to transform a functional floodwall into an outdoor gallery to celebrate the city's rich history. Even though the city of Portsmouth, Ohio sits on higher ground adjacent to the Ohio River, it was still prone to flooding. Unfortunately, the city endured flooding events in 1884, 1913, and 1937. After the massive flood in 1937 shattered the town, city offi
The Rogue Creamery in Central Point, Oregon is worth a detour for fabulous world-class cheeses. The building in itself is cute enough to stop for a photo op with a vintage mural, blue neon sign, and old blue pickup truck advertising this cheese monger paradise. But what lays inside is a humble but extraordinary cheese selection ranging from cheese curds, wheels of Rogue Blue cheese (this is the wo
The Descending Hand Sculpture, created in 2022 by local Dallas artist Andrew Z., serves as a powerful tribute to the unsung hands that shape our modern world. Suspended dramatically from the ceiling of the Operators Club, its raw and industrial aesthetic immediately captures attention while conveying a deep respect for human labor. By intentionally leaving the sculpture unfinished, the piece visua
At the heart of South Main Plaza in Mt. Vernon sits an unexpected menagerie: a fountain crowded with painted cast-aluminum dogs, watched over by a cat, a pony, two pairs of birds, and, inexplicably, an apple. At the very center sits a golden bone, and the cat, smart enough to know better, keeps itself perched safely out of the spray. It all started when Gambier resident Phil Samuell saw photos onl
Most walkers leave Skaftafell aiming at Svartifoss , but the trail offers an earlier surprise. Hundafoss drops through Bæjargil in a narrow, green-sided gorge, giving the uphill approach a quieter prelude before the main waterfall’s basalt-column setting. Its smaller scale is part of the charm. Summer foliage can partly hide the first angle, while a clearer side view makes the slender fall and dar
