Tucked into the far reaches of the Vermilion Cliffs wilderness, right on the border of Arizona and Utah, lies a place that looks more like a psychedelic dream than a piece of Earth. The Wave—a wind-sculpted swirl of technicolor sandstone in USA’s Coyote Buttes North—isn't just a geological formation. It's a pilgrimage site for the lucky few.

Just 20 kilometers southwest of Paris lies a place where extravagance, ambition, and marble collide: the Palace of Versailles. It’s not just a palace—it’s a statement. A glittering, gold-encrusted monument to power, taste, and the idea that if you're going to rule a country, you might as well do it from the most lavish estate imaginable.
