Sometimes the world's beauty is truly stunning.

Below is a picture of Horsetail Falls in Yosemite National Park. At a certain time of the year, it catches the sun just right and lights up like it's on fire.
Here's what it looks like to live in Dubai on a foggy morning.
Below is a picture of the Beijing Airport by night. It looks like something out of a sci-fi novel.
Below is a highway in Japan surrounded by 10 meters of snow.
Here is an aerial view of the undersea tunnel linking Sweden with Denmark.
Wonder what a lightning storm must be like over the Grand Canyon?
A table and chairs for a couple of giants. It's easily the coolest shelter
for horses I've ever seen and very artistic.
Below is a picture of a pathway in Ireland that lines up with the stars
once a year. Kind of wonderful.
The Rosa Moss Bridges in Ireland
Belgium's hanging restaurant.
A spiral cloud over the Himalayas.
A view of Infinite Cave in Vietnam.
And last but not least, a fireman giving a very thirsty koala a drink during
the Australian fire season.

    Fantastic images, beautiful nature on earth and lightshows in the sky! I'm not a fan of pink, but that Rosa Moss photo is stunning, too.

    Thanks for gathering and sharing these photos, Michael.

    It's an amazing world.
    The airport looks like a guitar to me. (Futuristic science fiction guitar of course.)

    These are quite simply amazing and beautiful pictures. Horseshoe Falls is gorgeous. I wouldn't enjoy driving that highway in Japan, and I'd probably be a little nervous dining at the hanging restaurant. Thanks for sharing such a fun and interesting post!

    I can't thank you enough for these! You just brought a huge dose of beauty and inspiration to my day. THANK YOU.

    I can't choose a favorite, but the waterfall took my breath away.

    I'll skip the restaurant, but the rest is pretty darn cool.

    Lots of amazing photography there. I would love to see that path in Ireland lined up with the stars.

    Ooh purdy. I don't think I'd trust driving a highway with that much snow on either side. You get one of those big bass stereos going and the whole thing will probably cave in.

    Since I want to visit Sweden and Denmark someday, I'll have to check out that tunnel! :)

    Cool pictures. My favorite new thing on Twitter is following National Geographic. They post the most amazing pictures from around the world. Each one takes my breath away. I could retweet them all day long. :))

    Wow, those are some amazingly beautiful pictures and places! That first one is stunning. I am, however, going to pass on that restaurant...

    Some of the photos really don't seem real, the beauty in them is so astonishing. I really want to go to several of those places.

    Love the pathway in Ireland. I wonder if they planned it that way.

    All of the pictures are very nice. I love the Rosa Moss Bridges and the Beijing air post and the horses tail fall the most. The highway surrounded by the snow built up on either side is very scary.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I enjoyed the pictures, Michael. I saw that one with the horse shelter before and thought it so creative. Love the *fire* falls. I'd LOVE to visit that cave in VN! I loved the pics in National Geographic of some of the phenomenal caves!

    Ireland has quite a few places that line up with the constellations and are something to behold at those times of the year. :-)

    These pictures just made my day! The world we live in blows my mind. Of course it bothers me that the world is being awesome while I'm stuck in school, but hey. There's always time for travel later. :)
