Sneaky talent...The Black Heron or "Umbrella Bird", uses it's wings as a shade canopy to attract and catch fish
That is something

@Keira - He had good motives but sadly economically that scheme failed.
@CrystalMarker - Bird brain is not an insult
Shiprock - New Mexico, this seems right out of Madmax

This made me giggle
So that ^^ image was taken by Hubble in 1995, since then they explored a lot more. Last year they released an image.
The full resolution of that image is 255000 Pixels x 25500 Pixels. This one Shot was an image in the sky, of the size of a moon. The Original image is 1.2GB heavy. Every dot you see is a Galaxy, every Galaxy is home to trillions of stars.
The depth is so brilliant, that you can pick shades in Galaxy. The Galaxy with Redder tinge are Galaxies that are moving away from us, Bluer tinge is galaxies that are moving closer in an ever-expanding space.
How insignificant we are...
Repeating - this is just the sky shot of the size of the moon in the night sky.
Image is termed as - Hubble Legacy Field.
Holy smokes!
Breath taking and beautiful...
DESERTS AREN'T ALWAYS DRY AND BARREN
Deserts aren't always hot and isolated considering at one point, many of them did hold a plethora of water and diverse wildlife. The Flowering Desert in Chile is one of those that seems something akin to Death Valley but holds a surprising secret. Depending on the amount of rainwater that portion of Chile sees in a year, the desert can transform completely. Where sand and dry mountains once stood, following plenty of rainstorms, visitors might return to see blooming bushes and magnificent flora and fauna. It's a reminder that everyone has the potential to bloom and become something beautiful.

THE GREAT BIG HOLE IN BELIZE
It's the biggest hole in the world and has been rumored as a diver's paradise and trust us, it's seen plenty of those this year. The Great Big Hole in Belize is appropriately named, as it descends 410 feet down into the earth, producing a massive, seemingly endless, hole underwater. It's part of the Barrier Reed system of Belize and is surrounded by crystal-clear tropical waters which is what draws experienced divers to its location. Simply explained, this chasm is a result of fault lines, similar to many other sea floor drop-offs in the surrounding area.

FALLSTREAK HOLES
These are relatively common in the U.S. but can really be seen anywhere. A Fallstreak Hole occurs when conditions in the atmosphere at the cloud-level produce "holes" due to the release of moisture content. In these "holes" you can often witness a tiny rainbow if the conditions are just right, leading to a break in the cloud formation that's filled with light and color. They're a pretty, yet explainable, phenomenon.
