Dancers perform to the classic "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky, and a family of swans swims peacefully along the shores of the lake during the performance.
It looks like a scene from a movie.

Enjoy the splendid magnificence of Rein Abbey, located in the forests of Styria in Austria.
This abbey is the oldest Cistercian monastery in Europe that has been continuously inhabited since its founding in 1129.
The abbey is rich in history, reflecting the monastic traditions of the Cistercian monks who have lived there for centuries.
Inside, the stunning paintings and intricate Baroque frescoes on the ceilings beautifully depict biblical scenes.
Life's greatest joys are often found in the simplest moments.
This beautiful poem by William Martin reminds us to teach our children the wonder of an ordinary life - from tasting fresh fruit to feeling deeply.

In the days before to the rise of the FBI, it was common to find entire towns in the United States that acted as safe havens for various criminals, bank robbers & gangsters that were wanted in other parts of the country.
One famous example of this being St. Paul, Minnesota, which operated on the principle that as long as you’re not committing crimes WITHIN the city, you were allowed to spend your time & loot there while you wait for the heat to die down back where you committed your original crime.
It was under this rule when multiple infamous figures from the era, including John Dillinger, Al Capone, Baby Face Nelson, & Ma Barker and her sons all went live in the town at one point or another.
The source of this odd arrangement came about by the "The O'Connor Layover Agreement”, a layover from the early 20th century police chief John J. O’Connor's plan to have detectives placed at the Union Depot and send anyone they deemed to be a potential criminal out of town in order to keep crime rates down.
The system proved to be popular amongst residents who quickly saw it was open to corruption, as residents would vouch for out-of-towners they insisted were good guys which naturally led to all out bribery as cops were paid by crooks on arrival to enter the city.
While crime rates within St Paul remained low, the Agreement was tolerated, but unsurprisingly, the arrangement that began with police corruption was eventually brought to a close with police corruption. It was revealed that one time Police Chief Thomas Brown had actually participated in the kidnapping of a local brewer in 1933 and a St Paul banker in 1934.
Eventually, with the growth of interstate law enforcement, cities that ended up becoming heavily intertwined with crime became less common, but didn’t entirely vanish. For example, Ohio’s Youngstown was heavily entrenched by the Mob from the 1930s, but unlike St. Paul’s relative peace, Youngstown became known as Crimetown, USA or Bombtown due to the spike in assassinations & bombings in the 60s and 70s.
