The Mysterious Bolton Strid, UK

In England somewhere between Barden Tower and Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire, lies one of nature’s most mysterious booby traps. Although it’s a small innocuous-looking mountain stream, around 6 feet across, famous as “Bolton Strid”, or simply the “Strid”. Nonetheless underneath the water’s surface is a deep chasm with commanding undercurrents that pulls anyone that falls into it to sure death. Therefore, it is strongly believed that not a solitary person who has fallen into the “Strid” has ever come out of it alive. Not even their bodies as well. To be sure, it is well believed that the name “Strid comes from the word “stride”.

The human nature assume, they can jump the creek, walk across in the stone, or even wade through it, so most of time, the attempt gets in vain and they lost in Strid. The extravagant attempt means; there are just dozens of corpses down there, pinned to the walls of the underground chasms, waiting for you to join them. It looks all stupid and harmless, but the second your foot touches the surface, you get some bullshit drowning animation and die instantly.

Spruce or Picea

Spruces are tall, fast growing evergreen trees with symmetrical spire shapes. You can distinguish them from firs, which they resemble, in two ways; spruce needles can be rolled between the fingers, whereas the needles of the fir and hemlock feel flat, and spruce cones hang from the branches rtehr than sit on top of them. A spruce is a tree of the genus Picea of about 35 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal (taiga) regions of the Earth.

Colorado spruce “Picea pungens” is a popular tree with a classic Christmas tree shapes and smell. On healthy specimens, the branches extend all the way to the ground in dense, graceful layers. Blue spruce “P. p. Glauca” is a very widely grown though the needles of blue spruce have a bluish cast, bu the degree of blueness varies from one tree to another. Spruces are large trees, height varies from 60–200 ft) tall when mature, and can be distinguished by their whorled branches and conical form.  

Kosteer blue spruce is also called Argentea is a more dependable true blue than most varieties. While spruce “P. glauca” likewise forms a tall dense spire with a bluish cast. The variety “Conica” dwarf Alberta spruce is a striking tree, growing slowly to 10 feet in a soft fuzzy, pale green cone and excellent accent plant. Norway spruce whose botanical name is “Picea abies” literally mean spruce fir forms a broad dense dark green pyramid with distinctive upward lifting branches and dropping side branches.

It too is a massive tree that can be out of scale next to a home, but there are several small ornamental varieties of this spruce. However, the “Nidiformis”, (Bird’s Nest Spruce), which grows to a mere 3 feet with a flat top. All the spruces mentioned are hardy to zone 2. Well, if you want to grow spruce, then to counteract their tendency to lose their lower branches, give spruces plenty of sun, and don’t crowd them. Scientists have found a Norway spruce, which reproducing through layering, has reached an age of 9,550 years and is claimed to be the world's oldest known living tree.

Moreover they will tolerate heat or cold and most soils, including dry ones, but the soil should be well drained. Norway spruce likes a bit more fertility and moisture. Norway and Colorado spruce can be planted bare root. Pests include spruce gall aphids, spider mites and scale; dormant oil sprays can be effective against all of them.

Moreover it’s material also used in soundboards for a lot of musical instruments, including guitars, mandolins, cellos, violins, and the soundboard at the heart of a piano and the harp. Wood used for this purpose is referred to as tonewood.

They can be trained to one leader while young awkward branches can be cut to a side branch if necessary. But for the most part pruning consists only of removing dead branches. DNA analyses have shown that traditional classifications based on the morphology of needle and cones are artificial. Spruce has been found in the fossil record from the early Cretaceous, 136 million years ago. Spruces are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera moth and butterfly species, also used by the larvae of gall adelgids (Adelges species).

Carezza Rainbow Lake

In the Western Dolomites there is a small mountain Carezza Rainbow Lake is a mountain lake may be a dime a dozen, but how many can boast brilliant waters whose colors are the result of a lovesick sorcerer and drowned rainbows? According to the local folklore, the myriad colors of this lake are the result of a lovelorn wizard's blunder. Their fractured magnificence continues to radiate through its crystalline waters to this day, and account for Carezza’s other name: Lec de ergobando, or “Rainbow Lake.” 

According to the ethnicities of the Ladin people in Italy’s South Tyrol region, once upon a time there was a mermaid living in the lake. who often sat and sang on the shores of the lake. She was however very shy, and whenever anyone approached, she would instantly vanish into the water. Once wizard Masaré was in love with. The striking water nymph called the pristine waters of Lake Carezza, at the foot of the Dolomites, home. In order to seduce her, the witch Lanwerda advised him to dress up as jewel merchant and throw a rainbow from Mt Catinaccio to Mt Latemar. Therefore, braiding her hair on its shores, the sorcerer Masaré was overwhelmed by the sound of the nymph as she softly sang to herself. Hence, head over heels in love, he hunts for the support of a witch to make the nymph his own.

An elaborate plan involving a disguise as a jewelry salesman, and casting a rainbow across the lake ensued. Unfortunately for the sorcerer, he forgot to wear his jewelry salesman outfit and was uncovered by the nymph even as she wondered at his creation. Thus, evading his trap, she hasn’t been seen since. Fully distraught at his own foolishness, Masaré smashed the rainbow into a million pieces, which fell into the lake’s waters below. So the beautiful mermaid detected him and forever disappeared in Lake Carezza. Since then the Ladin name for the lake has been “Lec de Ergobardo” (the Rainbow Lake).

Lake Carezza is mainly fed by subterraneous springs from the Latemar Group and his water level is continually changing. In spring lake gets the highest level and lowest level in October. In summer lake is fed by snow melt. In winter, however, the “Fairytale Dolomite Lake” is frozen and covered by snow, which is very impressing. This lake is amazing and whenever you plan to go Italy then must see it in person!
