WOW- Unique Flower Displays

Photos of some beautiful gardens. Sorry but I don’t know where the photos were taken.

If you love seeing flowers and trees, with a lot of creativity – watch these videos on my YouTube Channel.

Unbelievably Beautiful Floral Display

The Largest Flower in the World

An Amazing Place in China…Beautiful Scenery!
The “Red Land” is a large rural area of Southwest China. Fiery red soil, emerald-green barley, golden-yellow buckwheat and snow-white oil flowers against the floating clouds, the ever-changing light and dramatically blue sky make a strong visual impact.

Fly Geyser: A Man Made Geyser in Nevada

Fly Geyser is a very little known tourist attraction, even to Nevada residents. It is located right near the edge of Fly Reservoir and is only about 5 feet high, 12 feet if you count the mound on which it sits. The Geyser is not an entirely natural phenomenon, and was accidentally created in 1916 during the drilling of a well. The well functioned normally for several decades, but then in the 1960s geothermal heated water found a weak spot in the wall and began escaping to the surface. Dissolved minerals started rising and piling up, creating the mount on which the geyser sits, offering an eerie, out-of-this-world sight. The mound is still growing to date.

Fly Geyser is located on the private Fly Ranch currently owned by Todd Jaksick and is accessible only by a small private dirt road. The geyser is protected from trespassers by a high fence and a locked gate with several metal spokes on the top, but despite the booby traps, many people still prefer to jump the fence to get a better look. Several organizations have tried to purchase the land for conservation, and make it open to the public, but have been denied.

Fly Geyser is located approximately 20 miles (32 km) north of Gerlach, in Washoe County, Nevada, less than a mile from State Route 34. The Geyser is about 1/3 mile from the road and is large enough to be seen from the road.

Birth of a Star

birth of a star

Astronomers at the ALMA radio telescope in Chile, have captured images of the birth of a star some 1,400 light-years away from Earth.

The image of Herbig-Haro object HH 46/47 combines radio observations acquired with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) with much shorter wavelength visible light observations from ESO’s New Technology Telescope (NTT).

You can see a video of the Birth of this star on Space.com.
