This is one of the best optical illusions I’ve ever seen, maybe because it’s pretty cool and because it took me about 5 minutes to see the real thing.
What about you, what do you see in the picture, a lake?
Go inside the post to see what it really is.

In the Gippsland Lakes in Australia bioluminescence is a very unique, beautiful, and rare phenomenon that results from a chain of events such as flash floods, storms, and bushfires that triggers a population explosion of one particular type of algae. It is very strange to observe and might make the observer think that were being invaded by another extraterrestrial species.

A monster rose from the waters of this quiet lake and this photo was managed to be taken by a passerby!

Photographer Franco Banfi shows us the amazing beauty of the underwater world of the Swiss lake Sassolo, formed by the run-off of the Alps surrounding it.
The lake's ice formations are incredible.
Some cool pictures showing Mother Nature at her best await you inside the post.

Divers in Kazakhstan are crazy! They love extreme and can’t live without diving even if it’s winter outside. Only look what these five guys perform on Kaindy Lake! You won’t regret!

This boy is really stupid. Who would in clear mind come in the middle of a lake and start stomping and jumping on thin ice, moreover just few meters away of the warning sign???
Fortunately, he could get out from the water. I hope this situation will be a good lesson for him.

2 geologists have rescued two young deer which were stuck on the middle of a frozen lake.
A very good deed that saved the lives of those two poor creatures.
Take a look..

There’s a legend that runs in the internet about this miraculous and mysterious rock on the Birmanian lake: "You can see its true form only on certain days of the year, when the sun shines on it at a certain angle."

Everybody knows the story of the Loch Ness Monster, a creature said to live in the waters of the Loch Ness lake, located in Scottish Islands. Everybody knows it but only few people claimed they saw it for real during the 20h century. Most of the “evidences” are not convincing and could show lots of stuff different that the famous monster and most important, lots of pictures were revealed as hoaxes like the most famous one taken by Robert Kenneth Wilson (a London gynaecologist) in 1934.
Even if for most of the people it’s just a myth, some people live along the lake in hope to see and photograph Nessie and each year, though we can’t see it, the mysterious creature is the center of attention of countless tourists.
We’re in 2009 and the question about the existence of the monster is up again because of an Internet user that claimed he saw Nessie on Google Earth. To me, it’s nothing but a boat but for some, it’s already another proof of the real existence of the creature…Lets start with pics taken during the last century until today:

Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 4,085 square miles. It is located in southwest Bolivia.
I can understand tourists who go to this indescribable beauty. Looking at such a landscape, it is difficult to believe that this place is on Earth ;)

Can a car ride on the bottom of a lake?
And why not - a group of people slightly altered car "Niva" and drove under the water more than one hundred meters.
Just don’t try to do this underwater trip yourself. The guys who took part in this project are professional divers :)

There was a Soviet fighter aircraft flying, fighting with Nazis enemies, but once he was shot and fell into a lake.
After more than 60 years, historians found this place and lifted the aircraft from the lake (surprisingly enough, but the aircraft was well preserved). They buried the pilot and even found canned pork.
Note: this is a U.S. fighter aircraft P-39 Airacobra. It was used during the Second World War with mediocre performance by the Americans in the Pacific, then with a great effectiveness by the French in North Africa and Italy and especially by the Soviets (who received the majority of the production).
