The Flatiron Building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and fifth Avenue, at the time one of the most prominent locations in New York City. It is situated near Madison Square at the end of the Ladies' Mile, one of Manhattan‟s most important shopping districts at the turn of the nineteenth century.
The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago‟s Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame skyscraper clad in white terra-cotta. At 21 stories and 93 meters, it was one of the city‟s tallest buildings. Its singular shape and prominent location soon made it one of New York City's most famous landmarks.
The building probably featured on more postcards than any other buildings of its time. The whole area, the Flatiron district, was even named after the building. Originally the Flatiron Building featured an observation deck on the top floor, but taller buildings have taken over this function. It is still, however, a popular tourist attraction and one of the most photographed landmarks in New York.

Flying up, up and away on a hot-air balloon ride is a truly unforgettable experience like no other.
I enjoyed breathtaking views, landmarks and the wonder of nature from a new and unique perspective as they took me to the skies in one of their colorful hot-air balloons. I felt excited
and enthusiastic as I drifted gently across the UK‟s stunning landscape at anything up to
5,000 feet. Raised smoothly and silently towards the clouds, the only noise the occasional burst of the burners, I travelled where the wind took me. It was a memory to last a lifetime on my personal hot-air balloon experience, which I would tell people about again and again.

Plains zebras are found on the savannas from Sudan to northern Zimbabwe in eastern Africa. Grevy‟s zebras are now mostly restricted to parts of northern Kenya. Mountain zebras occur in south-Western Africa with cape mountain zebras in South Africa and Hartmann‟s mountain zebras in Namibia and Angola. Zebras are herbivorous and primarily eat a variety of grasses. They are also known to eat shrubs, herbs, twigs, leaves, and bark.
Zebras are very social animals and live in large groups. A group is made up of one stallion and up to six mares and their young, while Grevy‟s zebras come together as groups for short periods of time. Sometimes herds come together to form temporary groups of up to 30 members. Zebras sleep standing up, and only when they are in groups can they warn them of danger.
