Jason Wainwright is the photographer and videographer behind these spectacular images and it shows these extreme weather conditions in a completely new light.
“Red sprites” are a phenomenon that occur when lightning creates an electromagnetic discharge. This rare sighting was photographed by an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) recently and it is amazing to see.
These ice flowers form when plant stems and roots are not fully frozen but contain a lot of moistiure. As the moisture travels up the stem it freezes and creates layers of ice.
This phenomenon happens only once a decade in the Arizona Grand Canyon.
When snow melted and flash froze down a mountain somewhere in Russia, a photographer captured this impressive natural phenomenon.
The all too familiar “planking” craze may now be transplanted by the funnier “owling” phenomenon, whereby people perch on various surfaces like an owl. Just be careful “who” shows you how to do it.
The Original Owling Post
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.
This spectacular miracle you can see on these pictures is known as the unique urban phenomenon of Manhattanhenge. It’s when the sun sets over New York City and all the streets on the city grid are illuminated similar to the solstice at Stonehenge. This happens twice a year and coincides with the spring and autumn equinoxes. The scenes are truly beautiful and miraculous.
Guess what’s on this picture? No, it’s not snow.The right answer is after the jump.
This is what a yacht crew noticed while traveling in the south Pacific. Go inside this post and experience the same thrill and emotions as these guys did when they saw this amazing phenomenon.
