Actual photographed image of Dione orbiting Saturn

Speeding toward pale, icy Dione, Cassini's view is enriched by the tranquil gold and blue hues of Saturn in the distance. The horizontal stripes near the bottom of the image are Saturn's rings. The spacecraft was nearly in the plane of the rings when the images were taken, thinning them by perspective and masking their awesome scale. The thin, curving shadows of the C ring and part of the B ring adorn the northern latitudes visible here, a reminder of the rings' grandeur.

Innerdal Tower, Omsdal, Norway

The valley Innerdalen lies north of and runs parallel to Sunndalen. Go to Alvundeid (southeast of Kristiansund) and then the local road up Virumdalen to Nerdal (free parking). From there on you walk on a “tractor road”, four kilometers to Innerdalshytta, a little shorter to Renndølsetra. The road is rough and narrow and the first part is very steep. This road is closed for all but the residents’ motor vehicles and four-wheel-drive is indispensable.

Construction on the bridge began on January 5, 1933 and lasted a little more than four years, costing more than $35 million. The bridge was opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt pushed a button in Washington DC.
