Antigua: Devil's Bridge National Park












 Devil’s Bridge National Park is a National Park that was established in 2008. Devil’s Bridge National Park was formed because of wind surges. The wind surges occur because there is no land in between Devil’s Bridge and Europe. Devil’s Bridge National Park is known for the several natural blowholes that can be found all throughout Devil’s Bridge National Park. It is one of the most unique natural sites in the world with the numerous blowholes, nearby there are a lot of swimming spots that are sheltered by the Long Cove. It is one of the best places to take a photo within the country due to the unique angles and view that Devil’s Bridge offers. Antigua is an amazingly beautiful country with stunning beaches and views but Devil’s Bridge National Park topps them all in my opinion.

Andorra: The Nobility Of Time

 








The Nobility Of TIme is a sculpture created by Salvador Dali. It is a riverside monument made out of bronze. This sculpture is a perfect example of Dali’s work. It has a melted clock which is a classic in Dali’s work. There are also 2 different women on the bottom of the sculpture. The meaning of this particular sculpture is the metamorphosis of nature and time. Dali loved to express the concept of time in his works. The tree in the sculpture is to express that the tree is lifeless with no new leaves or roots to show a rebirth. I think that this sculpture being in Andorra is important because this Andorra is known for there mountains and nature but in the Andorra city there is a sculpture expressing that over time nature is going to become lifeless.
