Hi everyone!

This blog is about the "New Seven Wonders of Nature". The "New7Wonders Foundation" already made a list of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", but until 11.11.2011, a democratic vote will decide of the main natural places of interest in our world. This idea of a "World Heritage" is quite fashionable these days ; the Seven Wonders refer to the appreciation of a common past, or a common natural heritage, that each and everyone of us have to protect for the future generations.
