11 Unbelievable Places That Are Hard to Believe Really Exist

Our world is so full of wonders that new and amazing places are discovered every day, be that by professional photographers or amateurs. Different geographical locations, climatic conditions and even seasons offer the widest variety of natural wonders: pink lakes, stunning lavender or tulip fields, breath-taking canyons and mountains, and other places you can hardly believe actually exist!

Some of the pictures in this collection will be of all natural sights you can find while traveling around the world, while the others have experienced human interference – but even in these cases, the result of such collaboration is spectacular. The Japanese learned how to tame thousands of orchids and form a romantic tunnel out of them; another one was formed all the way in Ukraine by a passing train; and what eventually ends up as hot tea in our mugs, first grows in stunning tree fields in Asia.

No wonder that traveling in one of the best forms of recreation – even looking at these pictures takes your mind to far away places… And yes, all those of those places are real!

Beautiful photos and places but it's interesting that most are man made. Not natural. A beautiful photo of our natural world is my preference. One species repeated in a landscape is actually harmful to that land and to the beings who once lived there. Nice photos, though

Wow! These places and photos are stunning. This story inspired me to reflect on this morning in Toronto: It is grey outside and as the train silently hums towards the city I can hear the generous drops of rain falling from the tips of the surrounding trees on to the windows. A loud clap of thunder woke me up this morning, as if the day announced with unabashed grandeur, "I am here." In this moment it was hard to believe that the same voice that whispers the silent flutter of a springtime leaf can also roar with such stunning displays of electricity. Such a beautiful day on the magnificent place that we call earth.
