Originally, an inundation zone to the north provided an area that could be flooded with water deep enough to make enemy advance on foot precarious, yet shallow enough to rule out the effective use of boats. Today, two dams sit at either end of the mote, ensuring that when the water level rises, it spills over the dams and not into the bridge.
~ABOUT~ There is wonder and awe to be found in every life in every direction we can see, look closely, the nature, the people, the animals, almost everything. May we share amazing views we have noticed ourselves with you. Please share them if you are so led! :)

the amazing human bridge on 17th century (Moses Bridge)
Early 17th century Fort de Roovere is surrounded by a moat and was originally built without a bridge. Yet, as part of a recent restoration program, it required the addition of an access bridge. Out of respect for the fort’s original island status, Netherlands-based RO&AD Architecten constructed the Moses Bridge, a discreet “sunken” bridge that sits flush with the line of the soil and the water. The result is an almost invisible bridge that partially immerses pedestrians into the moat.

World's Highest Waterfall
Angel Falls (Salto Ángel) in Venezuela is the highest waterfall in the
world. The falls are 3230 feet in height with an uninterrupted drop of
2647 feet. Angel Falls are located on a tributary of the Rio Caroni. The
falls are formed when the tributary stream falls from the top of
Auyantepui (a tepui is a flat-topped structure surrounded by cliffs -
similar to a mesa).

Transparent Larval Shrimp
Found in the in the waters around Hawaii, this transparent larval shrimp piggybacks on an equally see-through jellyfish.
Transparent Cave Crayfish
Caves are some of the darkest places on the planet – even sophisticated light-gathering instruments are unable to register a single photon in the deepest, darkest caves. Under these conditions, creatures including fish, spiders, insects and crayfish have evolved into “troglobites”: animals so precisely adapted to living in darkness that they cannot survive outside cave environments. Under such conditions, neither eyes nor pigmentation are necessary.
Transparent Jellyfish
Glowing in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, this transparent jellyfish seems to inhabit another world. From the Arctapodema genus, the transparent jellyfish’s grandeur is more remarkable given its inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) size.
Transparent Ambhipod
Like many deep sea creatures, this transparent amphipod, dubbed Phronima by marine biologists, uses its transparency to survive. By appearing clear in the dark waters, the amphipod helps hide from predators, but in spite of the shrimp-like creature’s attempts to disappear, it can’t conceal a vibrant yellow patch that sits inside its head.
Transparent Zebrafish ( again created by Scientists)
Zebrafish are genetically similar to humans and are good models for human biology and disease. Now, researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston have created a zebrafish that is transparent throughout its life. The new fish allows scientists to directly view its internal organs, and observe processes like tumor metastasis and blood production after bone-marrow transplant in a living organism
Transparent Icefish
Fund in the cold waters around Antarctica and southern South America, the crocodile icefish (Channichthyidae) feed on krill, copepods, and other fish. Their blood is transparent because they have no hemoglobin and/or only defunct erythrocytes. Their metabolism relies only on the oxygen dissolved in the liquid blood, which is believed to be absorbed directly through the skin from the water. This works because water can dissolve the most oxygen when it is coldest. In five species, the gene for myoglobin in the muscles has also vanished, leaving them with white instead of pink hearts.
Transparent Butterfly
Glasswing butterflies are known for their predominantly transparent wings (with the exception of the borders), and this is the reason they were named like this. The opaque borders of its wings have a dark brown color and in some cases are tinted with red or orange. Greta Oto has a widespan of about 5.6 to 6.1 cm (2.2 to 2.4 inches) while the body is mainly dark colored. The glassy wings work as a means of camouflage, helping the butterfly to better blend in the enviroment and as a result avoid more effectively any potential predators.
Transparent Squid
Found on the southern hemisphere’s oceans, the Glass Squid (Teuthowenia
pellucida) has light organs on its eyes and possesses the ability to
roll into a ball, like an aquatic hedgehog. It is prey of many deep-sea
fish (eg goblin sharks) as well as whales and oceanic seabirds.
Transparent Frog created by Japanese
Frogs and Fishes come in nearly every colour of the rainbow – from
the dull greens of British species, to the vivid yellows and reds of
their tropical relatives.
But Japanese scientists have gone one step further than mother nature – and created a transparent frog.
The creature’s see-through skin allows researchers to see details of its internal organs and blood vessels. They say this could bring huge benefits to medicine, making it easier and cheaper to study diseases such as cancer.

Transparent Head Fish
The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939–but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets.
