Green Acres-This is in South Moravia of the Czech Republic. It feels like some sort of dream or perhaps a scene from a Pixar film but this is an actual photograph of the beautiful countryside.
Gullfoss Frozen Waterfall-Theologians in the dark ages used to believe this was the entrance to hell because back in those days, they believed it was a cold place. People would even go there and jump in to try to rescue souls they thought had gone to hell. So even though it's unbelievably gorgeous, it's also a little creepy and holds a very sad history.
Lake Retba-This is a real lake in Senegal, West Africa. It appears to be pink because of the algae in the water. It is also easy to float in, similar to the Dead Sea, because of its high salt content.
Zhangye, China-It looks like an image right out of a Dr. Seuss book but this is actually Danxia Landform at Nantaizi village of Nijiaying town in China.
Crystal Cave-This cave is one of Iceland's most beautiful sites. Oaefajokull, Iceland's tallest active volcano, compressed the air from the ice and that is what has caused the shape, texture and colors of it.
Camel Thorn Trees, Namibia-This photo is one of the most talked about in recent National Geographic history. At a glance it looks like art work created by a talented painter of bare trees in front of an orange sky. In reality, it is a dune that appears orange because of the morning light.
