Sainam

Sain-am Rock is one of the Danyang P'algyong - the 8 Wonders of Danyang. This impressive rock cliff, dotted with old pine trees, overhangs a clear stream. People often flock here to have a picnic while enjoying the beautiful scenery and the clear water. The overhanging cliffs mimic the craggy peaks of nearby Worak-san national Park.

PORTUGAL - MADEIRA

Porto da Cruz

Porto da Cruz (English: port of the cross) is a civil parish in the municipality of Machico in the northeastern corner of Madeira. The origin of the communities name came from the fact that the original discoverer affixed a steel cross at the port, in order to better identify the location to ocean travelers. The northern parish is enveloped by the mountains of Paul da Serra: Pico da Suna (1040 metres), Pico do Larano (765 metres) and Pico da Maiata (766 metres) are the highest points in the parish. Even along the coast, Penha de Águia (a mountainous escarpment 580 metres in altitude) is difficult to climb; the area, Penha da Águia, means mountain of the eagles, giving the impression that only the birds settle these lands.

A nice stamp.
