No, it's not lava - so it would be too easy. Horse Tail Falls (Horsetail Fall) lights up every February: for two weeks, the sun's rays fall on it at an angle so that the waterfall looks like he is out of the flames - a phenomenon often referred to as ognepadom. Usually ognepad can be observed only for ten minutes at sunset when the clouds do not obscure the sky.
Ognepad difficult to photograph, but, nevertheless, it has been a lot of pictures, among which there are also fake: in Yosemite for almost a century, from 1872 to 1968, the year a group of people were going to stir up a giant bonfire and then discharging coals from a cliff Glacier Point.
National Park rangers eventually asked people to stop this occupation for some mysterious reason - in fact, this is why people can not throw burning coals from a rock? So now I have to be content with the present ognepadom in that fabulous moment when the sunlight dancing on the water.

Under the "miracle of Moses" refers to the fact that for a very brief period in the spring you can walk along the coastal waters around the small South Korean island - get a grasp: you can walk on water.
About twice a year during the period from March to June, the Yellow Sea coastal line is exposed due to the action of tidal forces, resulting in the place where recently prevailed sea, there is a strip of land about three miles in length, connecting the two islands - Jinda and Modo. Aisle width of 40 m is still open for only an hour, and at this time, thousands of tourists to enjoy the rare opportunity to go through the sea.
On the island every year there Jindi four-day festival dedicated to this event. "Moses Miracle" phenomenon is named after a similar event described in the Bible - Moses made the waters of the Red Sea in different ways: it can be said that the Bible indirectly contributed to the development of the local tourism industry.
We Koreans have their own story about the origin of the phenomenon of the Yellow Sea: it says that once bred on the island of Jindi many bloodthirsty tiger, then all the people who lived on the island fled to Modo, believing that there is something no tigers - all except one old women who forgot to bring. She prayed to the God of the Seas, that he created a way, and she, too, could go on Modo - God of the Ocean heed to her request, and the woman was rescued. However, it can be assumed that the God of the Ocean had a specific sense of humor or lack of knowledge about the local fauna - the Tigers did not afraid of the water.

Most of the year the river Cano Kristalis in Colombia is an ordinary river: the water in it is clean and clear, and the bottom overgrown with green moss - beautiful, of course, but nothing special. However, within a short period from September to November, the river is starting to look a little different.
Fall, due to the heat and sun, dull green moss thrives with every imaginable shades like quaint carpet - Cano Kristalis gets so crazy paint is popularly given her the nickname "river flowing out of Paradise."

Dolomites in the north-east of Italy have the unique property to become pink in the rays of the setting sun - a phenomenon locals call Enrosadira (Enrosadira), which literally means "to be pink." Every evening, the western slopes of the mountains are painted in a variety of warm colors - from bright yellow to dark red or purple.
Such an effect is possible due to the unusual structure of the mountains: the Dolomites are made from the remains of ancient marine animals and magma from volcanic eruptions.
The most impressive phenomenon appears in the summer, so if you've ever wondered whether God can paint the world on your own, add a summer trip to Italy to your list.

Green Lake in Austria is something more than just a body of water, lost somewhere in the middle of the mountain range Hochschwab, although most of the year the depth of the lake is less than two meters, and around it grows a lot of greens, and there are hiking trails that make this place ideal for hiking.
But so it is only in the winter, while the snow lies on the slopes of the mountains in summer the snow melts and the huge amount of water cascading from the lake flows into the valley, creating a wonderful water world.
Now the depth of the updated Green Lake reaches about 12 meters - the water is so pure that if you do not notice the ripples, the first did not even realize that all the paths and greens are under water, and benches and bridges look like toys in the fish tank.
Since the flood, which in most places on the planet is becoming a catastrophe for the people, for the benefit of Austria soon - in the summer here attracts hundreds of tourists, mostly divers. And really - see underwater landscapes that seem to be a common ground, it is extremely interesting. A peak depth of the lake is in the middle of summer, so the next time you plan your vacation will become, so keep that in mind.
