the huge bridge between sweden and denmark is like that too, there's an artificial island where it goes underground/water. One can see it from the airplane is one flies to/via copenhagen (SAS hub so it's likely if you travel in the north).
There are also small dam/bridge combinations in the north (seen them in sweden) where there is first a dam that overflows evenly from the whole width and then the water runs over a road that is a couple meters lower - it's only a few cm deep when the flow is normal so you can drive on the road over the river. But it feels strange since on the other side is a thin wall holding huge amounts of water, and if there was a flow increase, it would flow over the dam and your car would be washed away. Shame I didn't have a camera with me.
Kanyakumari

My own translation of the important bits:
Kanyakumari: Located in the southernmost part of India, Kanyakumari is the point where three seas join: the bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. The legend behind the temple is as romantic as the place itself. Dedicated to the virgin goddess Kanyakumari (Parvati) who is proud to protect the country. The temple is built on the top where she was created and she waits for her consort to come and ask her hand in marriage.
After the tsunami???
I wish there were more shots close up. It looks like there might be some cool details.

If you ever make such a level, I have the perfect name for it. Do you know what the Barbary Pirates called their deep sea hell?

Dom Daniel -- The first time I encountered the word was in a short story by Gene Wolfe several years ago. I looked it up with whatever search engines were available at the time, but I found little information (Gaimon also made reference to it in Sandman).
So I looked up Wolfe's e-mail address and asked about it, and got a nice little etymonic discription in return. I wished I still had that e-mail, it was quite interesting.

Please if you still have this email, send it to lambert_jph - at - yahoo - dot - fr
I'm always interested by these "mythological" stories... it gives me some good inspirations for mapping ;)

I didn't comprehend Lun's post on first read, and I clicked the links thinking it was a tech demo of some new valve engine... :O

That's an entirely reasonable assesment and I can clearly see how what I said could be construed as such by a sober, clear-headed individual.
