“Erebor – A3, watercolour and gouache. My depiction of The Lonely Mountain (Erebor), from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Deep within the dwarven keep lies Smaug the dragon, perched upon his hoard of treasures. The smell of someone unfamiliar rouses him from sleep, but Bilbo stays hidden, watching.
Rivendell – A3, watercolour and acryla gouache. My depiction of Rivendell from J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.”

Hutt Lagoon is a pink lake on the West Coast near the town of Gregory. This very small town is located on a narrow spit between the ocean and the pink lagoon.
Hutt Lagoon is a pink lake, a salt lake with a red or pink hue due to the presence of the carotenoid-producing algae Dunaliella salina, a source of ß-carotene, a food-colouring agent and source of vitamin A.
I dreamed about the pink lake for a long time, and it turned out to be better than my dreams. Pools with a different shade of red, pink, and sometimes yellow and blue. Pink salt on the shore, which glitters like snow - it all looks like abstractionist paintings in reality. Nature and man in this case did the magic.
Guys it’s a CRIME that this animal shelter’s video has on 24 views please give them the attention they deserve.

the fact that we can map sedimentary units from space is really cool and also Mars is cool!
Amazingly surreal Las Pozas in the rainforest by Xilitla in the Mexico mountains. Created by Edward James in the 40′s, it includes more than 80 acres of natural waterfalls and pools interlaced with towering surrealist sculptures and buildings. The many trails throughout the garden site are composed of steps, ramps, bridges and narrow, winding walkways that traverse the valley walls. It was supposed to be a “Garden of Eden” containing a huge variety of plants and animals.

Steamboat Geyser, in Yellowstone National Park’s Norris Geyser Basin, is the world’s tallest currently-active geyser. And here we see it erupting. Impressive!
Steamboat geyser has been erupting pretty often for the last year and a half - not shooting the full football field in height it has before, but erupting every few days to every few weeks. Its behavior is totally unpredictable.
