In the resort town of Skagen you can watch an amazing natural phenomenon. This city is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place can not merge because they have different densities.

This is a unique geological phenomenon known as Danxia landform. These phenomena can be observed in several places in China. This example is located in Zhangye, Province of Gansu. The color is the result of an accumulation for millions of years of red sandstone and other rocks.
(Stunning!!)

In northwestern Montana, USA. The water is so transparent that it seems that this is a quite shallow lake. In fact, it’s very deep.

Airport in the Maldives is located on an artificial island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

"This place in Uzbekistan is called by locals “The Door to Hell”. It is situated near the small town of Darvaz. The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it’s burning, already for 35 years without any pause. Nobody knows how many tons of excellent gas has been burned for all those years but it just seems to be infinite there."

The one with the snake and bird seems fake

[Mud Dog]

Wondered about that one myself .... I'm thinking the strike would have been too fast for there not to be any blurring, even if only slight, but with the speed of today's cameras one can still wonder.

something about the lighting in the shot is not working and it also seems as if the snake and bird are on different planes

[Mud Dog]

I doubt that there's anyone here who hasn't seen a peacock, but have you seen one in full flight? Simply stunning!

In 1911, residents of Niagara Falls woke up in the night feeling something was wrong.
It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise.
They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses.
Of course at that time, nearly all the houses were near the falls.


Amazing pictures, 100 years old.

Can you imagine walking on Niagara Falls ?
