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…

Dear Rinpoche,
When I saw the Paris computer games store that you’ve posted above, I was reminded of the beautiful but peculiar roads in France. It was almost similar to the design above but the purpose was to cut speeding on roads. Although it does serve its purpose but most of the users were frustrated and left confused due to its squidgy lines. I wonder how could they come up with this bold idea? Interesting! *The pic was taken from here : https://bitly.ws/Uobm
I have always been fascinated by our amazing mother nature it’s full of happening and miracles. Thanks for the sharing I had a wonderful view at mother nature at it best and with full of miracles like the curvature trees grow in the forest near Gryfino, Poland. I truly love all the pictures and my best was the rare natural phenomenon, it’s extremely beautiful and weird.
Thank you very much Rinpoche these wonderful amazing and educational photos and places. Those that really opened up my mind are…This is a unique geological phenomenon known as Danxia landform,View of the sunset from inside the wave.Lost paradise in the Indian Ocean. Isle of Lamu.Skyscraper-Crescent Crescent Moon Tower (Dubai).These trees grow in the forest near Gryfino, Poland. The border between Belgium and the Netherlands in a cafe.Restaurant on a cliff on the east coast of Zanzibar. Hope to see more of these photos and articles on blog. _/\_
What truly amazes me is actually what happens when the Baltic and North Seas meet, it’s amazing how something can be so similar yet it can’t be merged into the other one. Mother nature is truly amazing, there are a lot of incredible things about nature. If it wasn’t because of some people, I’m pretty sure these wouldn’t have been discovered. What shocks me is the picture of traffic jam in China, the traffic is intense, I can’t imagine myself stuck in a 200km plus of traffic jam, it will definitely drive me nuts lol

The Crescent Moon Tower is only an artist rendering and hasn’t been built yet : http://landoffacts.blogspot.com/2012/09/crescent-moon-tower-dubai.html
beautiful
Nice all the picture
There are just so many great wonders in the world that we may never see at all. But because of technology, we will be able to see such beautiful scenes. I really hope that I would be able to visit all of these places one day.
nice
good
I absolutely love these images. I think that Thor’s well is one of my favourite. Not only because it has the name of one of the most awesome Norse god’s and Marvel Character’s name. It is because the well does not seem to overflow and it somehow goes somewhere. The storm in Montana 2010 also looks like something that will come out of a Thor movie. hehe.
I also love the extremely clear lake. It is truly amazing. I would love to go there and relax on the clear waters.
hi there are good pics
Hi ali,
Yes these are certainly great pictures! I like them a lot too!
The blog has an amazing amount to posts that contains great architectural and natural pictures. Something that I enjoy looking at very much.
My favourite picture would be the one about the office of Selgas Cano in Madrid. I can’t imagine if I have that in my house, it will be so cool! Every day go to bed and wake up with such an amazing scenery. Thank You for sharing such wonderful pictures Rinpoche.
Love, beatrix.
Awesome pics,.. really fascinating..

about this picture:
quran show that:
(18) he has made the two seas to flow freely (so that) they meet together: (19) between them is a barrier which they cannot pass (20) which then of the bounties of your lord will you deny? (21) there come forth from them pearls, both large and small (22)

Am so happy about these pictures
Can you please send any picture to my e-mail …
Thank you they are nice pictures …

[…] Very interesting Pictures from around the world […]
can you tell me if the hut in your photo #28 is rentable and how I could reach the owner about renting it? Isle of Lamu? I’m not familiar with where that is?
I like all the pictures. All the pictures are special. Some pictures even captured in that very moment that could just happened once. Many unusual things happening at the same time while I am sitting here typing my comments. I am very amazed to the curved trees grow in the forest near Gryfino, Poland. No body knew how these trees became like this. I believe that must be a reason for it because whatever happened around us and whatever we see it’s directly or indirectly because of our karma.
All the pictures are really nice, I like the Office of Selgas Cano in Madrid, just imagine working at such office look out the serene scenery, definitely brighten up my working day !
The border between Belgium and the Netherlands in a cafe was actually very interesting scenario that I never thought of.
Thanks a million to Rinpoche for sharing this amazing post.
Amazing pics….
These pics are really-really fantastic.
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.
Cool pictures. I can not believe they are real photo.
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!
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!!!
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。
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!
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 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!
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.
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…
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
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.
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 🙂
Thank you, Rinpoche!
Each one made me think, not only enjoy 🙂
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.
