What are some really astonishing or beautiful pictures in nature?

 ※ Victoria Falls

Located in Zimbabwe, this large waterfall is 1,700 meters long, with a maximum height of around 105 meters. These measurements result in Victoria Falls being the world’s largest single waterfall. Can you take a guess at how many gallons of water flow over this bad boy per minute? Over 50 million gallons a MINUTE!

※ Redwood National Park

Located in the beautiful state of California, thousands upon thousands of, to say the least, GIANT trees are found in the Redwood National Park. Each tree has an average age of 3,000 years old, and are the tallest tree species on Earth. The tallest tree in the world, located in this park, is measured at 379 feet… That is pretty large considering the average tree height is anywhere from 20-40 feet.

※The Everlasting Storm, Venezuela

At the mouth of the Catatumbo River in Venezuela, a very unique mass of storm clouds swirls, creating the rare spectacle known as Catatumbo lightning. The storm occurs up to 160 nights a year, 10 hours per day, and 280 times an hour.

※ Kilchurn Castle, Scotland

※ Light Pillars, Russia

Light columns are visible in extremely cold areas like Russia. They originate from natural light, like the moon or setting sun, reflecting off ice crystals, which are nearly perfectly flat and smooth.
