I wonder if they have huge boulder insurance.

That's in Poland.

I think someone posted a wider angle shot of this before- It's an open air coliseum.

Oh, . The article said Cincinnati, and I just assumed they knew what they were talking about.

I'll have to look those up, thanks.

Scripps Pier, La Jolla, California-
The sun only lines up like this twice per year

Whoa! Thought that was a rendering or something. But no, it's real.

I've been here. This place is actually uber-cool, it's located on the top of a mountain, and it overlooks a huge part of southern Bulgaria. It used to be the only real structure on the particular hill it was placed on but now there is a windfarm next to it so it doesn't look as eerie.

Looks more like a Bond villain's lair...

👍 Fantastic!

That's exactly what I thought...

 

[Wiegert]

Wow! Hi-Res please!!

I tried looking before uploading that, actually. No luck.

Checked again just now and only found one slightly larger.

That's exactly what I thought...

It's like a massive Eastern Bloc equivalent of Piz Gloria. With less Telly Savalas.

 

[CodeRedR51]

That's exactly what I thought...

Or something out of Star Wars.

The Gulf of Alaska, where two oceans meet, but do not mix
a strange natural phenomenon that occurs when heavy, sediment-laden water from glacial valleys and rivers pours into the open ocean *thanks R1600 Turbo

Here's an article on the truth about that.

[gnomefromnome]

I, being from Alaska...should know that

Anyway, some more amazing ocean pics

The Amazon and the Rio Negro do that too:

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Apparently the Mississippi River does too when it meets the Gulf of Mexico.

I'd guess all freshwater rivers do that when they meet saltwater bodies of water, though.

 

[Jedi2016]

Yeah, they do. It might be strange to people that haven't seen it before, but it's not all that unusual.

Something NASA posted, taken from Chile

Looks fake, but technically "real" or at least not a cut/paste job.
