Impressive Artwork by Paul Gauguin
French post-impressionist artist Paul Gauguin experimented with colors and the Synthetist style, setting his paintings apart from Impressionism, but was not recognized for this until after his death. Toward the end of his life, Gauguin spent time in French Polynesia and created artworks of the people and landscapes. He formed a friendship with Dutch artists Vincent and Theo Van Gogh. The artist had an impact on the French avant-garde and contemporary art, and as a painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, Gauguin played a significant role in the Symbolism movement, which followed post-impressionism.

Beautiful Birds of Indonesia
Bali mynas are also called Rothschild’s mynas to commemorate the British ornithologist Lord Rothschild. They are endemic to Indonesia, inhabiting the island of Bali. These birds are known for their snowy, white plumage with black wing and tail tips. The birds have lovely white crests on the top of their heads. Because Bali mynas are the only vertebrate species endemic to Bali, they were designated as the faunal emblem of the island in 1991. Bali mynas are omnivorous birds that primarily eat fruits, insects, and small invertebrates.

Ayers Rock, or Uluru Rock, is part of the Uluru National Park in southwestern Northern Territory, central Australia. It is said to have emerged after a ferocious battle between two opposing Aboriginal tribes as a sign of the grief of the Earth.

There are also aboriginal tribes that believe Ayers Rock is a mythical animal that lifts its head once a year to take account of its surroundings.
