Natural Wonders

Natural  wonders
This is like a dream come true to me. Whenever I look at nature, it fills my heart with joy and happiness. Some people travel because they want to have experience in what they feel inside their hearts.

When you look at a landscape so far away, there is a way it enlightens your inner self. You look at the green vegetation,  when it comes to trees, the scent of the Flora's and the rhythm of the flowing water on rocks....hmmm. It really sounds great.

Sometimes, when I sit on a cliff, I realise that the person who created these whole amazing sceneries is really the Greatest of all. When it comes to waterfalls, you really wonder where that flowing water is coming from and where it will end! It's really a breathtaking moment.

Questions always come to your mind when you just look at that amazing scenery. When it comes to fauna, I mean wildlife. It's really amazing... Just take a look at the zebra's in the park, the black and white strips on their skins, the leopards with solid black spots and orange brown on their skins too makes them really look fabulous. And when you hear the birds singing in the woods, fresh air around the trees and the sound of the branches they make when the wind passes its really embracing the soul and bringing new life.

Because the real magic of wonder is not in the thing itself, but in the fact that the more you look for wonder in the world, the more the wonder of the world becomes part of you.
It helps us connect with the world around us in meaningful ways. Wonder is more than just a good feeling; it is a seed from which our greatest treasures grow. With travelling, you explore the dream and feed your Spirit well.

These are the most amazing places on our planet but the 7 natural wonders of the world, have been separated as the most awe-inspiring.
 These wonders of the world can be found on 5different  continents and are magnificent in their natural beauty.

1. Victoria Falls. 
A fall of water is an area where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. It is so impressed by the beauty of waterfalls.
It is an exciting activity for the body, soul and entire refreshment of mind. 
Victoria falls is one of the wonders of the world stretching 1.7km wide and shared by the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. The falls drop into a deep narrow chasm which is connected to a long series of Gorges. Falls are a perfect spot for birds, wildlife viewing. Nature walks around the banks of the falls is a really exciting activity.

2. Northern Lights ( Aurora Borealis). 
There is a long list of locations where this mesmerising phenomenon can be seen but some of the most popular to visit are Iceland, Alaska, North Canada, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
These are the famous green streaks of the northern lights which occur when a chemical reaction takes place. This is formed by particles from the Sun's surface drift towards the earth, colliding with particles on the earth's surface forming beautiful arcs of colour in the Sky. It really looks amazing.

3. The Grand Canyon.
This was created by the raging Colorado River which is said to have run this path for around 17 million years! Still making its way through, the river running below enables a little perspective on the sheer scale of this magnificent place.
The beautiful, russet tones of the rock and pure magnitude of the park cannot be fully appreciated until you are right there in the middle of it all.
Due to the odd formation of the rocks, the position of the sun changes the views and the colours of the scene throughout the day making it look so amazing.

4. Harbor of Rio de Janeiro.
The stunning harbour of Rio de Janeiro is situated on Guanabara Bay in Brazil surrounded by majestic granite mountains such as the famous sugar loaf, Corcovado peak. Rio is also home to a myriad of stunning sugar-white beaches, a wonderfully vibrant city and the best party in the world!
Add all this to the fact that you have the watchful gaze of Christ the Redeemer looming over the city making it a truly unique part of the globe.

5. Mountain Everest.
The world's highest point lying between Nepal, Tibet and reaching the ridges of China, is the colossal Mount Everest. Reaching the summit is often regarded as one of life's greatest accomplishments.

6. The Great Barrier Reef.
The word 'great' does not even begin to describe the sheer magnitude of the Great Barrier reef. Spanning over 1,400 miles and encapsulating nearly 1,000 islands of which 3,000 reefs live, is the largest coral reef ecosystem in the world.
It's home to billions of fish, coral and living organisms, many of which are only found in this part of the world.

7. Paricutin Volcano.
In 1943, in a cornfield in Paricutin, a farmer discovered a crack on his land. Within moments, the ground surrounding the crack had risen 6 feet high with rivers of ash pouring out of the hole. It stood 50meters high within an hour and by the end of that year, Paricutin volcano was at a staggering 450meters high!
This is a must-see because what scientists particularly love about Paricutin, is that its the first-ever time we have ever been able to witness the birth of a new Volcano.

8. Lake Hillier. This is found in the Recherche archipelago, the island has one of the greatest natural wonders in the world and the most beautiful pond of the kind lake Hillier. Not even the scientists know for sure why it is pink,they speculate it is caused by certain bacteria. Today it's a protected nature reserve but can be visited under special circumstances. It's best to view it from the air in any case.

But they're still many natural wonders in Africa as a continent its self which blow your mind away and also bring life. These include, red sea reef, mountain Kilimanjaro, Sahara desert, Serengeti migration, Ngorongoro crater, Nile river,and Okavango Delta etc.
