In French New Caledonia there’s a natural heart shaped swamp which featured on the cover of ‘Earth from Above‘, a collection of photographs by Yann Arthus Bertrand. The photo was titled ‘HEART IN VOH’.

In Taipei there’s a heart shaped pool, which also has a heart shaped island in the middle. Surely it must be man made though?

Finally, on the coast of Croatia, is this gorgeous heart shaped island, lined on every side with golden sands. Honeymoon location anyone?

The 7,560 tonne world’s largest gantry crane at Kockums AB shipyard in Malmö, Sweden also has the world’s largest lifting capacity of 1,500 tonnes. If you’re in Sweden don’t bother trying to go and see it though as in 2002 the crane was sold to Hyundai Heavy Industries who dismantled it, painted it orange and shipped it off to their Offshore Fabrication Yard in Ulsan, South Korea.

The yellow floating crane to the northwest took part in the dismantling process, which you can see from the ground in these numerous photos. You can also see the Kockums crane at its new South Korean home in this photo.

And while we’re on a roll with the big cranes scroll a few screens east for the largest floating crane in the world.

Many thanks to Lars Persson & Rickard Jensen

The Fernsehturm (literally, “TV tower”) was built in 1969 and features a revolving cafe and observation deck. Aside from the obvious function of providing TV and radio signals for the city the underlying motivation for the tower was to create a powerful political symbol in East Germany that could be seen by the West.

The buildings around the tower appear to be in the shape of an aeroplane, but I couldn’t find anything saying if this was intentional or not. Also look for the tower’s large shadow extending to the North, the train station ‘Alexanderplatz’ just to the east and the orange roofed church St. Marien to the west .
