Minunile lumii - part. 1







The natural bridge of Virginia
Se spune despre acest faimos pod ca insusi George Washington, dupa ce a supravietuit evenimentelor 1750 si-a lasat initialele gravate in piatra GW.
1774, Thomas Fefferson a cumparat o parte din aceste terenuri, inclusiv acesta formatie geo. pe care a numit-o "the most sublime of nature's works,"
Descrierea podului in Moby Dick: "But soon the fore part of him slowly rose from the water; for an instant his whole marbleized body formed a high arch, like Virginia's Natural Bridge..." William Cullen Bryant, Natural Bridge and Niagara Falls were the two most remarkable features of North America.

Momentan se poate vizita acest pod(localzat in Rockbridge County), la un pret de 12 USD.
