place travel - Today is World Rivers Day - beautiful place

Today is World Rivers Day, a conservation event inspired by BC (British Columbia) Rivers Day, founded near these banks 40 years ago. The 850-mile-long Fraser River flows through this Canadian province’s diverse landscape: From the Rocky Mountains, it carves steep valleys through central BC, and irrigates farmlands outside Vancouver before spilling into the sea just south of the city. The river flows gently in this stretch, as seen from the Port Mann Bridge east of Vancouver, with the Golden Ears mountains in the background.
Thanks to preservation efforts, the Fraser's main stem remains completely undammed and it draws its water from far and wide. Its drainage basin, the area covered by the main river and all its tributaries, covers a quarter of BC's land area. Delicate environments like rivers are interconnected and that's what World Rivers Day aims to highlight through clean-up opportunities and virtual events.

nice place - Happy Hobbit Day! - place travel

Happy Hobbit Day! It’s Hobbit Day, marking the anniversary of the 'long-expected party' which sets in motion the events of the Lord of the Rings books. Today, 22 September, is the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, the protagonists of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings respectively.
Fans of the film adaptations of those stories will recognise today’s image as Hobbiton in the Shire (although it is actually a set built in the countryside near Matamata on New Zealand's North Island.) You can celebrate Hobbit Day by walking around barefoot all day and having seven meals like a hobbit, reading one of the books or watching any or all of the six films in the series. It would be only fitting this year, as the stories chronicle a mythological struggle between darkness and light and today is the autumnal equinox.
