And still on the element of Wonder, out in the sands of the Gobi desert, Buddhist relics have been recently uncovered. More pictures available on BBC.

  3. Mei Teng, I was fascinated by that spider web too - great contrast of colours, eh?

    Foong, those sure are huge prayer wheels. I like the design etchings on them.

    Click to enlarge the image of the reading spot in Fiji to appreciate its beauty. What a view!
