Nature is really amazing. Amazing thread
Awesome thread. Repped hard.
"Oddly though, no thunder follows the lightning. The bizarre phenomenon is found nowhere else on Earth, and is thought to be the single biggest generator of ozone on the planet."
I have seen that where I live here in cali. Scared the crap outta me. Lightning without any sound is really weird.
These are neat also, the Nazca lines:

its pretty interesting how it was carved out by people
also whats funny is the ifugao tribe there charges you money to take pictures with them
im from the Philippines but ive never been to the rice terraces
Solid thread!

Nice bump. :cheers:
Now die.
Wow I have actually been to many of these. Tha burning crater, Japanese hell baths and blue grotto are the ones I'd want to visit the most.
It's hard to get a feeling for a place in just photos but Goreme National Park in Turkey is definately the most spectacular of all these places
I'm not sure Goreme is the painted valley in Turkey, but if so the painted valley in Turkey is the best. I know I have been to both Goreme and the painted valley but I can't remember if they are the same place. Does anyone know the Turkish name for the painted valley?
this photo is Goreme, not the painted valley they must have been two different places...

This place and Craters of the Moon national park, honestly feel like you are on a different planet.
