Visitors and residents bicycle and walk on the Florida Keys’ Old Seven Mile Bridge Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2022, in Marathon, Fla. The 110-year-old span formally opened Wednesday after a ceremony marked the completion of a four-year, $44 million restoration project. The old bridge originally was part of Henry Flagler’s Florida Keys Over-Sea Railroad that was completed in 1912. It later became the centerpiece of the Florida Keys Overseas Highway, but was replaced in 1982 with a new span. The old bridge is closed to vehicles but open to pedestrians and bicycles.

Budapest's best nightlife, from rooftop cocktails to backstreet bars

river scene, man kayaking, sand beach, curve, trees, peaceful, recreation, sport, Blackwater River State Park, Holt, FL, Florida; horizontal, MR, Caption: Despite its name Blackwater, or the original Oka-lusa (water black) in the Muscogee language, the Blackwater River is normally a transparent golden-brown when seen against the white sandbars. Most of the stream flows through undeveloped lands of the Blackwater State Forest and Blackwater River State Park, core areas of the largest contiguous longleaf pine/wiregrass ecosystem left in the world, one described as being rarer than a tropical rainforest. Water seeping from this forest is as pure as it comes, merely tinted with tannins from leaves and roots of shoreline vegetation. Canoeing, kayaking, camping and picnicking are popular activities in the park along with strolling along forested nature trails.

LVIV, UKRAINE - MARCH 02: Several people in the crypt of a church converted into a museum, which is now used as a shelter, on the eighth day since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, in Lviv (Ukraine). After 8 days of war since the beginning of the attacks in Ukraine by Russia, the balance of the war according to the latest information, both by the Ukrainian government and UNHCR, is at least 2,000 civilians dead and about one million refugees who have fled Ukraine. In the early hours of this eighth day of fighting, Russia has entered a new town of 300,000 inhabitants. Russian and Ukrainian delegations are scheduled to sit down at the negotiating table today. On the table is the demand by the former Soviet republic for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukrainian territory. (Photo By Pau Venteo/Europa Press via Getty Images)
