Mine is: This image is not actually Eastern Europe, but Brazil.

The architectural structure was built entirely of clay in 1798. The palace has eight floors, located on an area of ​​about 800 square meters.

The use of clay as a building material is evidence not only of the ingenuity of ancient architects, but also of their skillful adaptation to local conditions.

I can see Frankfurt from around 40km (~25 miles)

When a lot of people think of India they think of crowded and polluted cities, but I am wondering what life in rural parts of India is like.

It seems like the environment is a lot better with cleaner air, less noise pollution, and more greenery. However I have heard the poverty is high and job prospects are low aside from agriculture.

For someone who is interested in that sort of geography, but not to the level of a formal rxt book, encyclopedia etc. The best I can think of is a Horrible Geography book, but bit too kid-focused! Thanks in advance!

Apparently, somewhere near Çorum, Turkey there is a point that minimizes the distances to all other land mass points on earth.

I assume that the antipodes of this point maximizes the distances to all land masses on Earth. It is some point in the southern pacific ocean.

What is the land mass that maximizes the distances to all other land mass points on earth?

I'm just curious about people's impressions of the map? What they like or do t like.
