We often complain about the society we live in, about corruption in politics, we moan about our catastrophic love life and about our boss who got us angry. Contemplating the beauty of nature is the one thing that can fix all this, and offer us some relief. How many times has a walk in a green, luscious park made our burdens feel a little lighter? How many times has a sunset chased those bad vibes away? This works because nature is everywhere around us, and yet, sometimes nature also likes to hide its best treasures, revealing unique scenery only to those who are bold enough to go look for them. Our planet is dotted with mysterious places whose sole architect was Mother Nature. Have a look at our gallery for some sensational images of truly unique places you surely never saw before! From a pink lake, to a red river, to stone monuments of utterly crazy shapes… Enjoy the show!
