25 Places That Look Not Normal, But Are Actually Real

This is a series of 25 PICTURES on a single page that look like everything from an M C Escher artwork to alien landscapes. But all are real places. Almost all of them can be described as simply amazing.

You might want to Google the names of some of them. Their background information can be just as amazing as the picture.

Wow, those are really awesome, thank you!

My favorite is Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, it's pretty mind bending.

Thank you - what a beautiful blast of amazing! I am familiar with some of the locations however some I had not seen and am blown away!!!

Isn't our planet beautiful when we don't have any pollution producing industry in the photographs, although I must research the pink water. The Lapland/Finland snow covered 'sculptures' - I must research those to see what is under the snow - how intriguing are those white structures.

Mother Nature and the Universe - the ultimate artists!!!!!!

Much Peace...

All those places are beautiful works of art. It's amazing how it just fits in with the environment.

It really wouldn't and I am not sure why I am so irked by the weird grammar used in the title. Its just one one those crazy things I guess.

I have to be honest with you and tell you I was tempted to correct the grammar before I posted it. It's my thread and I was bothered by the poor grammar too.

Yeah I too thought it might have been an artwork that slipped past the compiler. They are camel thorn trees and the sun is reflecting the orange colour off a large dune that provides a huge backdrop.

Check out National Geographic.

Much Peace...

I'm speechless, all i can say is WOW!. S+F for you Happy Kat.

All I can say is wow.. I have seen a couple of them, but I tell you what mother nature never ceases to amaze me..

If all the chaos in the world would just stop I would forever be a wondering tourist..
Though I would have to find a way to be independently wealthy

Very good find. Love picture Galleries....Thanking you.

Some lovely images there, but I see at least two that are photoshopped and I don't just mean with a bit of colour filter to bring out the hues. Also it looks like it is mainly a clever advert for Mini, since the extremely crappola English in the title is part of the Mini advert slogan.........but hey, what do I know, eh?

Wowee what awesome pictures I am really impressed by what mother nature and I am convinced that picture 20 Gullfoss the location was used in the movie Prometheus in the opening scene.

It was actually Dettifoss on the opening scene.

Awesome thread to wake up to on a Sunday morning. I want to visit all of those places!
