So welcome to Bored Panda’s amusing collection of the most fascinating and rarely seen objects, beings, places, occurrences, and everything that will bring out that inner curious child we have inside.
From a macro shot revealing the density of penguin feathers to rainbow cloud spotting, this is something you only see in a video game. Or if you open your eyes and pay attention. Psst! More incredible photos of rarely seen things can be found in our previous posts here, here and here.

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.

This Huge Tree In Cairo
The Cairo Tower tree, or Zamalek tree, is more than 150 years old, and one that you just cannot miss when passing by the area. In 1868, Khedive Ismail ordered that it be brought from India and planted there because of its beauty and ability to provide shade. It is the only remaining banyan tree in Cairo. Over the years, the tree became an icon of Zamalek, with couples, tourists, and children making memories and taking pictures next to it.

I'm not. It gets too little water. (I'm glad they didn't cut it down, though)

It's beautiful! That would make a great fantasy library or something
looks beautiful because when it is sunny you have some shade
I think there are single large banyan trees in s india and sri lanka than cover an area equivalent of city blocks
their is a big tree in the middle of the road you have to drive around in Darien GA
Oooooo i have seen two of this kind! I just wish those places weren't crowded with people 24/7
There are some trees like this in Hawaii that are this big, they are super cool!
I am so happy that they didn't cut this beauty down to build that roadway! :-)
They do have petrified tree stumps of trees that we’re a whole lot bigger… Js
It's called a banyan tree and here in India, we have oodles of them across almost all cities, many over a century old. They are reverred as it is said the spirits of our ancestors live on these trees and watch over us.
The oldest banyan tree in the world is in India. It exists not as one tree but a network of smaller trees formed by its branches, all with the same root system. ITs actually pretty fascinating. https://www.monumentaltrees.com/en/ind/bihar/westbengal/5498_acharyajagadishchandraboseindianbotanicgarden/

I appreciate that they didn't chop it down but instead, worked around it..
I might just go around the world on holiday! There are so many places like these that are utterly beautiful
I see it everyday its not really weird or something fantastic it has just lived for a long time
What are you about that tree used to be the center of the village before there ever were roads or cars or even wagons
Beautiful tree. How does it get adequate water to the roots with all that paving??
There is a way more bigger tree, REALLY HUGE that is in the Caïro ZOO. This is a little one compared to the one in the Zoo. It's breath taking, really. Must look up the picture(s) of it.
I would happily sit there reading and communing with the tree as often as possible, magic!
What an absolutely beautiful way of preserving mother natures beauty!
How amazing! I love trees! They are so life affirming. I am only happy when I am in a place where trees are abundant. I cannot stand being anywhere where trees are scarce. I find it depressing. I honestly can't stand it.
It deserves a name like humans have names. What an incredible, beautiful, giving thing. The stories it could tell if only we had the capacity to understand its language. Wow!
I`m so glad they didn`t cut it down for the road like they would have done here in the states.

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.

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.
Wow im shocked i actually got a fright with the koala and spider hand lol😂
