Very interesting Pictures from around the world
Dear friends,
Last week, I received these photos through a forwarded email. They’re photos from all around the world. It’s really interesting to see how creative nature and modern architecture can be… from naturally curving trees to crystal clear waters and high rise above the clouds. Interesting pictures.
I wanted to share these amazing pictures with all of you. Do take a few minutes off your busy day and take a look at these pictures…
Which amazing picture did you like the best?

Twice a year in the Gulf of Mexico rays migrate. About 10 thousand stingrays swim from the Yucatan Peninsula to Flori
In the resort town of Skagen you can watch an amazing natural phenomenon. This city is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place can not merge because they have different densities.
In the Chinese province of Shandong
Day and night. The monument in Kaunas, Lithuania.
An unusual tunnel in California’s Sequoia

The longest traffic jam in the world recorded in China. Its length is 260 kilometers.
Paris computer games store. In fact, the floor is absolutely flat.
Marcus Levine – slaughtering an artist in the literal sense. He creates his paintings by nailing a white wooden panel. At his latest series of paintings exhibited in a gallery in London, Marcus has spent more than 50 000 pieces of iron.
In the city of Buford (USA) lives just one person. He works as a janitor and as a mayor.
Autumn camouflage.
Haus Rizzi – Germany.
Lena Pillars. Russia, the Lena River.
Banpo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea.
Favelas of Brazil. The boundary between wealth and poverty.

From the outside it looks like this.
View of the sunset from inside the wave.
This is a unique geological phenomenon known as Danxia landform. These phenomena can be observed in several places in China. This example is located in Zhangye, Province of Gansu.
In northwestern Montana, USA. The water is so transparent that it seems that this is a quite shallow lake. In fact, it’s very deep.
Airport in the Maldives is located on an artificial island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Lighthouse guard in Mare, France must be one of the most courageous people on the planet!
Not everyone will have a smoke in such weather, and in such a place!

Heavy fog in Sydney, which enveloped the whole city.
The river above the river: Magdeburg Water Bridge, Germany.
Morning Glory – kind of clouds observed in the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia.
Gibraltar Airport is one of the most extraordinary airports around the world.
I like Thor’s Well, how the well never fills up and how somewhere on the other side, the water doesn’t flood over. Just thinking about the continuity of all things is amazing. Imagine being the water as it plunges into Thors Well and imagine some of it seeping into the earth, some evaporating, some joining various other bodies of water and then coming back together again in different forms. Amazing.
I also like the favelas of Brazil picture. Not very much separates riches and poverty other than a little flimsy wall, there more to protect the minds of the wealthy than anything else. Unfortunately in death, the said wall is not there to stop the rich from taking rebirth over the other side and vice versa.
Finally, I enjoyed the pic of the Magdeburg Bridge – the ingenuity of Man.
Intriguing pictures. Thank you Rinpoche.
Thank you, Rinpoche!
Each one made me think, not only enjoy
It’s great to see somethings I don’t get to see everyday, some are nature some are man-made. Whether nature or man-made it doesn’t matter as all these phenomena exist for a reason. I especially like the Lost paradise in the Indian Ocean, Isle of Lamu. Living on the ocean, kind of care-free and when the weather is warm, a dive would be so cool. Thanks for sharing these photos Rinpoche. It’s an eye opener
Wow… Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such amazing and impressive photos. I never thought that it does exist in this world. It shows that there is nothing is impossible in this world. It makes me so desperate to visit those places and explore with my own eyes and my camera to snap shot those incredible scene.
Thank you Rinpoche,
All the pictures are very unique and wonderful.
I personally love the pictures on those nature type and the first 4 pictures are my favorite.
1. Emerald Lake
2. Restaurant on a cliff on the east coast of Zanzibar.
3. Office of Selgas Cano in Madrid
4. Balloons in Cappadocia.
Each picture give different mood and feelings.
Just show how easy our emotion moves.
Picture paints a thousand words! hahaha
The pictures are amazing! The one I like the most are
1)Lost paradise in the Indian Ocean. Isle of Lamu.
2) the sea at Skagen.
I’ll learn to take beautiful pics when I have the chance to visit interesting and beautiful places. Hope that I can share them too…
maybe it’s my attachement to form..i love ALL the photos. They each tell a story, a moment which may never happen again, an experience, a reality for someone, life all over the world…
Recently I’ve been quite interested to learn photography and have experimented a little by taking pictures of animals.
Ok, i do love animals a little too much.. and perhaps it’s the reason for me to learn photography because i’d like to give them a voice through the pictures. I’m far from what I’d like to be able to do…but it’s a little personal project for 2012.
thank you Rinpoche for this post. I really enjoy the pictures very much.
Thank you so much, Rinpoche for sharing these amazing pictures of creative nature and modern architecture designs, from natural curving trees to crystal clear waters, high rising above the clouds.Some of the faces of these natural landscaped beauties were really “out-of-this world” and beyond proper words of truth to describe them. They are really intrquing, especially, “Thors’ well, emerald lake, the Bridge across the gulf of Jiaozhou, Lena Pillars of Russia at the Rena River, The River above the river in Germany, Danxia Landform, and last but not least, the morning glory in the gulf of Carpentaria in North Australia. They are really equivalent to the 7 wonders of the World. I really do love to see them all in pictures, hopefully in reality one fine day!
When you think you seen it all, there comes a bunch of unseen wonders in the world that take your breath away. These pictures just make you wonder how much more the world can be interestingly breath taking.
Few of the pictures above shows mother nature creation which is without word that can be describes.
Thank You Rinpoche for sharing these wonderful pictures with us.
Thank you for sharing these incredible photos. Now we get to marvel at the wonders of mother nature, technology, history, creativity without having to leave the comfort of our homes!And spending hours on airplanes and $$$ on air tickets!
I think the photo of border between Belgium and Netherlands is quite funny. It can be a borderless world if we choose it to be. Hmmm, i wonder where the immigration post is and what happens if the legs of the chair crosses the border??? Haha!
艺术是生活，生活也是艺术。这些照片有的安抚人心，有的挑战了视觉、挑战了我们既有的观念和想法。飞机场一定建在人烟稀少的地方？喜欢那张泰然面对大浪的灯塔人，那会是怎么样的感觉？最怕那张103层楼玻璃露台，站着脚会软，趴着的话我怕是站不起来了。
I like nature geography texture and phenomena but sometime I feel scary because while I looking for those nature view, I feel how fragile am I and how small I am.
That why in Buddhism we always talked about impermanent to our friend who non religion, free thinker or non Buddhist. Because Buddhist philosophy seem is a religion very nature and quite close with all phenomena nature in this planet. Everything I can see and experience, Buddhism will also have very good explanation about it. That why Buddha’s teaching so powerful, after 2500 years still can apply in this century.
So, I always thought Buddha Shakyamuni had enlighten in the Bodhi tree the meaning behind is amazing. Phenomena nature and Buddhism philosophy…can you related this two…may be you can share with me you view too!!!
I like the danxia landform the most it is alost there is a gigantic artist at work! After that the stingray migrations, stingray migrate twice yearly, and lastly the office in the forest does it for me to be surrounded with the beauty of nature wow!
Cool pictures. I can not believe they are real photo.
All these photos are beautiful and unique. I love all of them but the amazing one is where the Baltic and North Seas meet. What an amazing phenomena.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing these photos.
I thought I would clarify the image of the Merging Seas, in fact it is my image I posted on Flickr a few years ago and it has gone viral a few times. I call it “Merging Oceans”. It was taken on a cruise in Alaska in the Alaskan Gulf, not in the North Baltic sea. You can see my original image here http://www.flickr.com/photos/kentsmith9/4955772693/in/set-72157622762300631 . Also from that link you can see other images I took moments before and after the shot you see here just to prove to people it was my shot and it was in the Alaskan Gulf.
