Extraordinary World Phenomena – Photo Gallery
INSPIRATIONAL, 26 Nov 2012
Yahoo! – TRANSCEND Media Service
From the vivid colors of a beautiful hot spring to a random rock formation that looks just like an elephant – these are the extraordinary phenomena of the natural world. The outlandish landscapes might look like something from another planet but they are in fact completely natural eccentricities. And while these mind-blowing quirks of Mother Nature might continue to puzzle scientists, they also continue to draw in tourists fascinated by the surreal spectacles.

The world is full of agonies, sufferings and serious problems. The TMS, aiming at negative and positive peace, projects the contemporary world to a higher extent. Accordingly, this website is full of incidents and events on direct, structural, cultural, environmental and any other kinds of violence.
But, is that what the contemporary world is all about? Never. No, at all. Even though the world today contains full of serious problems, there are still lots of wonderful, fantastic, brilliant or beautiful qualities that we can find in the world. The above article introduces some beautiful and awe-struck aspects of nature of this planet through ten photographs. (Thank you, Antonio, editor of the TMS, for choosing and posting the above article on the TMS!)
Those amazing photographs remind me of some last phrases of the poem “Desiderata,” written by Max Ehrmann:
“With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.”
Thanks dear Satoshi. But Desiderata, according to a text in my wall, is anonymous (nobody knows who wrote it) and ‘it was found in the ruins of a church in St. Louis-USA, in the 16th Century, when the US was still an English colony.’
I am not saying right or wrong, just pointing out some discrepancy. I have heard of many authors of this fantastic text, including Rudyard Kipling (obviously wrong). The problem is that there are many translations and each translator (or interpreter) becomes ‘author.’
Take care dear friend,
Antonio
