How do you say "I'm a tourist" in Italian?
Pull back the camera and all kinds of tourists are doing it.

Hoover Dam Bypass - Mail
Hoover Dam Bypass: 900ft above the Colorado River, the two sides of
the bridge which is about 1600 ft. south of Hoover Dam are taking
shape. The bridge will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the
bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding
around and across the dam itself. When complete, it will provide a
new link between Nevada and Arizona. In an incredible feat of
engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete
arches which jut out of the rock face. The arches are made up of 53
individual sections – each 24ft long – which have been cast on-site
and are being lifted into place using an improvised high-wire crane
strung between temporary steel pylons. Construction began in
January 2005, and the project is expected to be completed in June, 2010.

Elephants March - Mail
Elephants march through hotel lobby after it was built on their migration trail!
The Mfuwe Lodge in Zambia happens to have been built next to a mango grove that one family of elephants have always visited when the fruit ripens. When they returned one year and found the luxury accommodation in the way, they simply walked through the lobby to reach their beloved grove of trees.
