I just came across some cool photos online of natural phenomena and unique geological sites, so I thought I'd create a thread where hopefully we can share some of these places that others may not have been aware of. It's really incredible how beautiful our planet is.
Here's the Horsetail Firefall at Yosemite 
more info here : http://www.yosemitepark.com/horsetail-fall.aspx
Here's the "Door to Hell" (been posted before, but it's damned cool) 
More info and photos here: http://www.jabulela.com/travel-places/visit-hell-door
"Danxia Landform" 
more info here: http://www.absolutechinatours.com/ne...-rain-118.html
Hopefully you guys can share some other cool stuff, such as photos of cool places, man made or natural - or photos of places that the average person will never see. Even just really great nature photographs of plants, animals, landscapes, etc.

Salar de Uyuni in Bolvia. It's a salt flat that when covered in rainwater provides a striking mirror effect against the sky.

Just a beautiful farm landscape here in Southern Indiana. My favorite place in the world. Everything is just so relaxed. Everyone is friendly, and nature just speaks to you. No noisy roads or anything. The only noise that ever gets loud is 4-wheelers, or loud southern rock being jammed in the garages.
