25 Places That Don't Look Normal, But Are Actually Real

I hope someday I can travel the world and see some of these places. They look so interesting.

Also I'm testing out the new feature to add a photo in a response to a blog, and thought this topic would be a good way to test. This is a first test.

First on the list
1. Mt. Roraima, Venezuela

  • Hey LuvDadsCum --

    There are two pics of Iceland in the series: #5 & #20.

    Pic #5 is an aerial view of a meandering river as it heads to the ocean. The light tan spots in the midst of the blue are silt deposits/sand bars. For a better view: http://500px.com/photo/2241382

    Pic #20 depicts Gullfoss, a waterfall in the wintertime. If you look at pics of the waterfall, depending of where they are taken from, the waterfall will appear very narrow, such in pic #20; in the wintertime, as the spray from the waterfall forms an ice sheet it makes the waterfall seem very narrow and creates an eerie image. A better perspective can be seen here: http://www.vulkaner.no/n/gullfoss/egullfoss.html

  • Hi bearlly sorry about that

    Go to http://www.Google.com and paste in "25 places that look not normal but are actually real"
    one of the results is from Buzzfeed.com and you can see it there

    yeah long urls are broken here to prevent spamming. I had an issue with linking to porn sites with viruses in the past.

    thanks
    Marc

    @beht, thanks glad you like it.
    I would have added it a lot time ago but I didn't think of it until last week ;-)

  • @bearlyy thanks I got them from http://www.buzzfeed.com/miniusanotnormal /25-places-that-look-not-normal-but-are- actually-r-7lct

    Actually now that I think of it I wish I had some of these blown up so I can hang them on my walls. The Namibia one is really interesting to look at to me.

  • @rjzip how interesting that photo is. It looks like a poster for a Pixar film lol, but its actually real. Very cool

  • Socrota is on my list too. One of these days! Here's another one on my list: Bruny Island, Tasmania. I know islands and white sand pictures are sort of cliche, but I've always wanted to travel to Tasmania and the surrounding islands.

  • Oh, and here's another which isn't from nature, but has that unreal quality. This is an actual building in Poland.

  • Thanks for adding the photo feature and thanks for the content of your test! Beautiful and mystifying. A few I have seen before, but most look new and intriguing to me. Just to give it a further test, here is a favorite of mine and another place that doesn't look normal, but is.
