The pace of life has become faster for the sake of technology. Everything is getting pretty cool and easier than earlier. This rapid pace sometimes makes us forget to stop for a while to appreciate the world we live in.
Although we’ve lost certain things in our lives due to technology, we cannot argue saying that we haven’t gained anything from this technological advancement. One such instance is advanced photography. Due to this, we’ve become able to capture different kinds of phenomena in incredible ways.
We have presented a collection of 45 original images that showcases a surreal moment on Earth. Perhaps, you might feel them as ones from another world.
#1 This Is The Place In Which The Namib Desert Meets The Sea.
#2 A Glacier Waterfall In Svalbard, Norway.
#3 The Verzasca River In Switzerland With Crystal Clear Water In It.
#4 A Mirror Formed After Rain.
#5 The Sunset.
#6 Lenticular Clouds Above Mount Damavand.
#7 A Thunder Stroke In South Dakota.
#8 This Is How The Water Looks Like When A Helicopter Approaches It.
#9 Reflection Of Autumn Colours.
#10 An Otherworldly Jellyfish Seen In The Deep Sea.
#11 Windows Of The Sky In New York. The Chrysler Building.
#12 The Northern Lights, Norway.
#13 A Spectacular View, Sardinia.
#14 This Dragonfly Is Covered From Crystal Clear Raindrops.
#15 Saint Basil’s Cathedral In Russia.
#16 What A Long-Exposure Shot Of A Merry-Go-Round.
#17 A New Beach Visitor. (Whale)
#18 OMG! An Electric Volcano.
This image shows an erupting volcano in Chile. It had been engulfed in thunderbolts while erupting. Perhaps, you might think that it is photoshopped, but the truth is it is an original creation of nature to which special effects were added.
One of the commenters described, “The volcanic ash, some of it rising in the plume, some falling, rubbing against one another, produces enormous amounts of static electricity that have to be discharged.”
#19 The Floating Mountain.
Is this real? Can the mountains float on clouds like this? Widen your eyes and zoom the image and try to catch the optical illusion that has been created. The image shows Mount Rainier seemingly floating above Seattle, Washington, USA.
Even though it looks so beautiful when seen from far, this is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. We have only received the mercy of mother nature for a while.
#20 Wow! An Amazing Phoenix Of Light.
The photographer, whoever shot this, is fortunate enough to witness this in his real life. How amazing it is to see a flying phoenix created by the colorful flash projections of light in the sky! Yes, these are the Northern Lights in Iceland.
These spectacular auroras can be seen between September and March each year and are caused by the disturbances that take place in the magnetosphere. Watching these amazing auroras is exciting!
#21 The White Raven!
What you see now is not fake. Assure your eyes, this rare phenomenon is caused due to a condition called leucism. Leucism leads to a partial loss of pigmentation inside animals and leaves. As a result, creatures with leucism have a pale shade of cream in their bodies.
Although it seems something out from a fantasy novel, it is completely normal.
#22 Underwater Lilypad Forest.
This isn’t an alien forest seen in another world. You don’t need to fly into outer space to witness these marvelous things in the universe. The only thing is to be interested in what you want to see.
You might have witnessed these scenes if you’ve gone under the water. This is a lilypad forest with a large school of tadpoles swimming right beneath the water.
#23 A Desert With Magic.
Dear star war fans, are you surprised by this, thinking it to be a new installment in the Star Wars franchise? This image is one from the Burning Man Festival which is held annually in Black Rock, Nevada.
The participants get together to build a temporary city complex in the desert during this festival. The cities that they build up have all kinds of innovative structures in them. All the structures are brought down after two weeks and the desert will be like it was earlier.
#24 A Majestic Blue Iceberg.
The first sight makes us feel this as a fabricated or computer-generated image showcasing life on an imaginary blue planet. Believe me, this is an unretouched image that was captured from a ship sailing near the South Sandwich Islands of Antarctica.
This “cathedral of ancient ice” has become the perfect resting spot for penguins there. But, they might not have an idea of how beautiful their habitat is.
#25 What Does A Frozen Lake House Look Like?
Is this a miniature icing creation? Look back and guess once again. This is a true house on the shore of Lake Erie. The image shows a moment in which the shore has been covered with ice, snow, and frost.
The eerie look of the house has come out due to the huge amount of precipitation and high winds. This showcases the result of the combination of magical elements together.
#26 A Blue Lagoon.
This scene is too perfect to be considered real. Please believe that this wasn’t retouched or edited and that this was captured right on planet Earth.
This is located near Ywan Ngan in Shan State, Myanmar. The deep blue color has been created due to the high levels of copper sulfate in it. Therefore, bathing or using water in the lake is quite dangerous since it can cause unhealthy consequences.
#27 The World Is Almost Folded.
You might have been thinking what the heck this is! This image was caught by a drone that hovered over a cloverleaf intersection in an unknown location. It truly has a mind-bending effect.
Explaining this to the exact point is difficult but the two flat planes seem to intersect at a 90-degree angle with each other. However, this image makes us think that we’ve entered another world dimension.
#28 Ghost Shells.
Although this image is quite beautiful and interesting it is a severe warning for the survival of the Earth. This is called the sea butterfly or the limacina whose shell dissolved over 45 days due to its exposure to carbon dioxide.
This is a great example to alarm the public about the widespread effects of climatic change. Future generations as well as the animal species will have to face a lot of issues including ocean acidification due to the increase of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere.
#29 Unbelievable Tree Holes.
For some, these tree holes stand as a coded message from the aliens who invaded the Earth. But, the real artists behind the scene are the woodpeckers who have systematically created rows of holes in the tree. See how brainy these creatures are to make such a straight sequence of holes.
#30 Mystery Of Electromagnets!
The tube-like lamps are mysteriously lit up by themselves. Can this happen? This is the electromagnetic radiation that forms in areas around power lines that gives the air an ozone-like scent.
These men have gained the benefit of it effectively. Many people believed this to be a stolen part of Star Wars.
#31 A Paradise Of Books.
You are not the first who think that these endless rows of books that stand in this image are ones from the Harry Potter movie series.
But, this isn’t such a scene but The Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The library was established in 1887, and contains a huge amount of books based on Portuguese literature outside of Portugal. By now, the library contains nearly 400,000 volumes.
