The Chocolate Hills on the island of Bohol in the Philippines. The name
comes from the brown color of the hills during the winter months. There
are more than 1,200 of the conical hills, which vary between around 100
and almost 40 feet high.
The Bolivian Salt Flats are said to have been created about 30,000 years
ago when Lago Minchin dried up, leaving the salt behind.
There are 3,000 of these towering stone pillars in China's Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.
The flora on Socotra Island off the coast of Yemen look like works of
science fiction, including the desert rose with its bulbous trunk.
The canopy-topped dragon blood tree is only found on Socotra Island and
gets its name from the deep red resin that flows from the trunk.
The Wave in the northwest corner of Vermilion Cliffs National
Monument is a wall of red sandstone that twists and turns in a way that
just doesn't look natural.
The 61-acre Spotted Lake in British Columbia evaporates during the
warmest months of the year, leaving behind rings that make canonical
shapes.
The high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium in the Spotted
Lake have the water reflecting blue, green, and even yellow.
Here are almost 40,000 hexagonal ballast columns at the Giant's
Causeway in Northern Ireland that were formed 60 million years ago by
magma that spewed and cooled along the coast.
Some of the columns reach almost 40 feet high, while others are short
enough to walk across.
As the name suggests, Spain's Rio Tinto runs blood red. The color of the
Rio Tinto comes from a combination of rare bacteria, a low oxygen count,
and pollution from mining for gold, silver, and copper.
The immense Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentine Patagonia is more than
50 miles in length and 500 feet deep. The blue hue at the face of the
glacier comes from oxygen trapped inside the ice.
Sand that swirls through the 54,000-square-mile Simpson Desert in
central Australia is blood red. he color comes from iron oxide in the sand,
with shades ranging from light pink to deep red.
Here are but a few of the world's wonders, some of which I will not be
able to see with my eyes. However, I can only look with awe as I
contemplate how the God I worship is Great indeed!! He does wondrous
things and He leaves His fingerprints everywhere for us to admire. It is
very sorrowful to see that some people don't see and don't appreciate the
treasures that we have to feast our eyes upon. The Bible tells it so clearly
in Romans 1:20 -21
Romans 1:20-21
New International Version (NIV)
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
