My Kind of Lake!


Lake Hillier

This pink lake found in Middle Island, Western Australia is really one fabulous freak of nature. I guess a lot of women would love to visit this lake and hang out with the rest of the sorority girls during summer vacation, but sorry sisters it is strictly prohibited to even come close near this spot. The color of the water doesn't change when you put it on a container as it is proven to be permanent just like a pink lemonade kool aid drink. 
The reason why the color of the water turns to pink remains undetermined up to this day, but according to scientific studies and research there is a high probability that a green microalgae called Dunaliella Salina causes the water to turn pink. A halobacteria and the unusual high salt concentration in the water can also be one of the few factors that creates the flamboyant pink hue.

The Beauty of a Snow Flake Up Close!

Snow has always been the symbol of winter but we really never take a good look as close as this one. I took a photo of a snow flake outside and this is how it looked like with the naked eye.




Now let's take a much closer look. Somebody took this photo and since I don't have a good camera as he got I might as well re-post this awesome photo of a snowflake too. A true beauty of nature indeed, God have an awesome detailed architecture that we never realize and it's just all around us.

Humans can Fly?

Wingsuit Flying has become famous for the extreme sports fanatic these days. The modern jumpsuit design was inspired by a flying squirrel's body. This is what makes a man think that it is possible for humans to fly too!

We all know that flying squirrels can't really fly, they glide into the air and use their flat tails to stir, the only  reason they can hang into the air for a long period of time is because their body weighs only 3 ounces. On the other hand, flying with this wingsuit can only be performed jumping or exiting in a high altitude areas such as a cliff, a paraglider, a hot air balloon or a helicopter. It requires more skill to exit a moving aircraft because of the difference from the initial wind speed it provides. A wingsuit jumper will deploy his parachute using the same altitude that sky divers follow.





Here is the awesome video of a wingsuit flying taken in Norway


                                            





World Record! Biggest Wave Ever Surfed in History





It's just another ordinary day in Nazare Portugal, where waves are gigantic and surfers from all over the world gather to experience the adrenaline rush to surf one of the country's famous monstrous waves. Here you can see Garrett McNamara (45 yrs old, and a professional extreme big wave surfer from Massachusetts)  being towed by a jet-ski using his 6 0 Brewer Tow-Board surfing the 90 ft tall watery death. Isn't that amazing?
