Spotted A Rainbow Cloud From My Balcony. Not As Beautiful As Aurora But Pretty Rare To See Such Phenomena In India
This Is What Sunset Looks Like From Space
Even in times of scientific and technological advancements, our beautiful planet remains full of mysteries. From the incredible bismuth crystal that looks like it came from some sort of sci-fi film to the enchanting glowing forest in Japan with its luminescent mushrooms scattered along the forest floor, there are so many exquisite finds on Earth. They make us question how much about the place we inhabit we don’t really know.
Some of the most standout mysteries that have been captivating the imagination of many throughout the years include Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England. The structure consists of a ring of standing stones, with each stone standing approximately thirteen feet high, seven feet wide and weighing 25 tons. It’s believed to have been built about 5000 years ago, but scholars still do not agree on what its purpose could have been.
Another mysterious object is the stone spheres found in Costa Rica, located on the Diquis Delta and on Isla del Cano. There are over three hundred petro spheres scattered throughout the country that are still considered a great, unsolved archaeological mystery. The heaviest of them weighs many tons, and they’re believed to be made of granodiorite.

Astronaut Bruce McCandless Floating Away From The Safety Of The Space Shuttle
He had nothing but his manned maneuvering unit keeping him from drifting into the unknown. First person in history to do something like this.
Sendai Daikannon, One Of The Tallest Statues In The World
I am fascinated by the optical effect of the design. The statue is not at full body length, it's around 3/4, missing the bottom 1/4. This makes the brain believe that the statue goes lower (like if the legs of the statue extended down), therefore it's perceived longer than it actually is. How cool!

The UK Is Full Of Charming Crinkle Crankle Garden Walls
In England you sometimes see these "wavy" brick fences. And curious as it may seem, this shape uses fewer bricks than a straight wall. A straight wall needs at least two layers of bricks to make it sturdy, but the wavy wall is fine thanks to the arch support provided by the waves.

This Device Is Used To Measure Lengths On Maps. Simply Roll It Along Streets You Want To Use And It Tells You The Distance
My grandad worked for British Ordnance Survey in the 1950s and 60s, he went out, measured the landscape and then hand drew maps. When he died, we cleared out his home studio and I found at least 6 of these in various draws, boxes etc. I remember sitting with him as a child running them over maps to see where we were in relation to landmarks etc. I still love looking at maps 30 years after his death as it reminds me of the gentle, kind soul he was.
Ants Gutted My Almond To Make Their Own Almond Flour
The real question is if you’re going to eat the macarons or not… or the flour for that matter!
Load More Replies...
if they bake now little muffins for you.. well, THAT would be impressive ;)
Isn't nature just amazing . This is probably how we learned to mill flour … just guessing
You know that's a great thing to think about so I know when I get off work I'm going down the rabbit hole

The real challenge is when they try to make almond milk. So many tiny cups.
And they leave the husk intact. Once what i thought was a bag of almonds just went poof when i touched
Poor person. They only had the one almond and the ants came and took it. :p
Only God can make such tiny wonderful creatures. All in a small body, brain, muscles, eyes nose, mouth and more. Try to duplicate that infidels !
Can't let this bs pass. Ants do not chew up something and place it in a nice neat, circular pile around the nut. If they are chewing something up, each ant takes away each bit as its freed.
I disagree. If you go outside and see the little ant hills, you can see that they do in fact place them in nice neat circular piles right around the outside of their nest hole. The only reason they take each bit away as its freed is for the purpose of making nesting room. Carpenter Ants in a wood home for example are pros at this too.....

If some people were half as industrious as ants, it would be amazing what could be accomplished.
How are they all supposed to carry that all back? Perseverance, I suppose. Amazing creatures!
Hope it was sugar free gum otherwise they’re in for mandible cavities. Wonder if ants have dentists…

Would be neat to see a time lapsed film of them hard at work doing this from start to finish. Yes I am a big geek and would watch that!

A Hand Of A Koala
Koalas have human-like fingerprints. They are almost identical, and even under a microscope, it is hard to distinguish the difference between theirs and those of humans.
This Apple's Flesh Is The Same Colour As It’s Skin
I made cider from apples like this. It came out bright pink and checked in at a hefty 8.5% abv. We named it “Prider”, put it in a rainbow box and served it up during Pride Week about 6 years ago. 60 pints sold out in about an hour! 🙂

I just love looking at and learning new facts! I’m of the opinion if we just look…..we could learn something new everyday!
Whoever who had the mindset to put this together is brilliant! Everything was beautiful and awe inspiring! I could not stop looking at it! There was so much stuff that I had never seen.... it just blew my mind! I can't thank you enough!!
A crystal out on my front porch sent a rainbow of color across to the far side of my living room to my hour glass.. Only lasted a minute. IMG_202310...9527e7.jpg 
The wavy walls are also used for planting sensitive fruit trees. The waveform protects the plants from the wind and the masonry stores the heat of the sun and gives it off during the night.
This is the new pics lol. The first was sad but this ones happy and I like it,
It was a beautiful and unexpected treat for my eyes to see such beautiful creations of illusion.
