Triglav (Italianized: Tricorno, German: Terglau) is the highest mountain in Slovenia and the highest peak of the Julian Alps. While its name, meaning "three-headed", can describe its shape as seen from the Bohinj area, the mountain was most probably named after the Slavic god Triglav.
The mountain is the preeminent symbol of the Slovene nation. A stylized depiction of its distinctive shape is the central element of the Slovenian coat of arms, and is in turn featured on the flag of Slovenia.

Yaiza, Lanzarote is the gateway to the south of the island of Lanzarote (a Spanish island, is the easternmost of the autonomous Canary Islands) and onward to Playa Blanca. It is a pleasant sleepy village where most of the local council business is done. With recently tree lined roads, it houses the local townhall and has a floodlit public football stadium. Yaiza is mainly famous for Charco Verde which features a green pond and colorful rims that look like chocolate. The pavement-like ground is near the rim and is fenced. Part of the land to the north is part of the Timanfaya National Park.
