There’s always lots happening at your local

Lonely house: An interesting place in Iceland is called the Prídrangaviti Lighthouse. With a name that means “three rock pillars,” it was built in 1939 on top of a slim rock outcrop that sits six miles off the country's southern coast, near the Westman Islands.

The red-roofed lighthouse is on the largest of four such rock pillars protruding from the sea. To build it, construction workers first had to build a road to the cliff, and then had to climb to the top of the cliff with the materials. Today, maintenance workers get there via helicopter. No one lives in this lighthouse, as it is so remote and isolated.

Vulture madness: It's not uncommon to hear about cases in which pigeons, crows, or gulls take over a place in large numbers but vultures? That's what happened in a neighbourhood in West Palm Beach in Florida USA. Apparently someone started feeding the vultures, an act that served to attract other vultures to come to the free buffet. Unfortunately a committee of vultures makes quite a mess and homeowners ended up with pecked vehicles, torn screens and invaded swimming pools. Even fake owls and loud music have failed to scare the birds away.

Blue-eyed sisters: A couple from Reading in England own two “American Type” Russian Blue cats. Named Xafi and Auri, this pair of sisters has attracted a lot of attention on social media because of their interesting blue-green eyes. The feline breed is quite gentle and intelligent and these two love to pose for the camera. Their owners say that Xafi and Auri get along really well, loving to cuddle with each other. To get photos, the owners use treats and toys, but say the best pictures emerge when the cats are just being themselves and are acting naturally.

Alpine adventure: With the Matterhorn in full view, the mountain town of Zermatt is a scenic place to visit in Switzerland. In the winter it is known for its great skiing and other snow sports such as skating and curling. In other seasons, mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking on mountain trails keep adventurous people busy. Those who aren't athletic can go on the Matterhorn glacier ride, a cable car ride that offers views of the glacier landscape. After the day's activities, a visitor can dine at one of the many top-class restaurants that line the streets of the town.
