There is a place in Austria that is a dry park in the Winter, and a 10m deep lake in the summer!
It’s a pretty strange natural phenomenon, but an area located at the foot of the Hochshwab Mountains in the Austrian region of Styria is a part time park, and part time lake.
In the winter months, the park is pretty dry, and provides a good time hiking far from a city. However, in the summer months, it’s a 10m deep lake. The reason for this is because in the summer, the snow and ice around the mountains melts and floods the park. The Green Lake, as it is called, attracts divers who are curious to see how the park looks like underwater.

Unlike the 19th century masters Luna and Hidalgo who painted in a more European Style, the succeeding generation like Amorsolo painted in the Classical method like Luna and Hidalgo, but painted sceneries typical of the Philippine Landscape. Luna painted some but his Philippine themed works are less than his European themed works.
Amorsolo at the peacetime painted glowing scenes of the Philippine rural landscapes like the very popular Rice Planting (1922). When the war broke out, his works darkened and his painting featured the horrors of war that engulfed the country that time. It was only after the war that he painted again with light. His best wartime artworks are The Burning of Manila (1946) and The Burning of the Santo Domingo (1942).
Sometimes, it is also interesting to study the environments where the most famous historical figures lived. It also gives us a glimpse on how their environment shaped them.
