The Wave

Located between Arizona and Utah, United States of America. I heard that this place created by the sands with the age over 190 million years old which turned into stone. As I know from the science lesson, the sand created by the weathering stones. And the opposite happens in this place. It looks impossible for this place, but it real. It proved the power of God could change everything. I think many hubbers from US well know about this place. Please take a look the pictures below.

Antelope Canyon

Also located at this place Arizona, U.S.. The exactly place in Navajo Land, near the Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon was changed as the most favorite place for photographers and a place for tourists to see the incredible scenery. Antelope Canyon is a natural wonder That was formed from the erosion of stone, water and wind. The first impression when I saw this place like entering a small high cave. But when we came in, apparently inside looks large enough. From inside we can see the light coming from the cracks and produce different colors.

Antelope Canyon is a paradise for photographers. The combination of light entering between the craters was capable of making the people who see it will be amazed. Even a lot of photographers try to hide this beautiful place. But time have passed, this place has changed become a famous tourist attraction in Arizona. I wish I can visit to Antelope Canyon someday.

The diameter around 30 miles. God create something in many shapes, sometimes it can be seen closer, but sometimes it can be seen from far away like in outer space. As astronauts they have to be grateful, because they can saw many things from outer space. Like the surface of the earth, stars, shooting star, asteroid which we can't saw all of them from the earth. I said thank you to astronaut, because of them I can see the beautiful of "Eye of the Sahara"

Giant Causeway

Located at Northeast Coast of Northern Ireland. It is said that this condition occurs because of volcanic eruptions thousands of years ago. Like connections pole (we usually saw this at the house). Why this place so unique, because 'the connection pole' has a different angle (six, four, five, seven and even eight angles). The size was also varied, the highest up to 12 meters, very neatly until form a small hill as tall as 28 meters. "Giant Causeway" in the position of four most amazing places in the UK, based on Radio Times poll. For me this place really amazing, because we usually make kind of these stones by hand or we called artificial stone. But this is really made by nature.

Chocolate Hills

Do you like chocolate? Are you chocolate lovers? I think you like this place. But don't imagine you will find the real chocolate. But this place like a chocolate. That's why it called Chocolate Hills. Located in Bohol, Philippines. Chocolate hills have very unique shape. There are approximately 1268 brown cone-shaped hills. There are several hypotheses about the formation of thousands of these conical hills, some theory said that this place was created from limestone hills, volcanic eruptions, etc. Latest theories mentioned, volcanic eruptions in the past that causes damage to the surrounding areas. The volcano was belching a huge stone. Then all the stone covered with limestone rocks. For me this place is like in the fairy tale, "Alice in Wonderland". You will agree with me after see the picture below.

Located in Ende, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia. On the top of the crater of Mount Kelimutu which became one of the wonders of this world, absolutely stunning with the beauty and mystery that stored on top of a mountain as high as 1690 meters above sea level. Why this place so unique, because the different color between each lake.

Actually this is a volcanic lake and the three colors can be changed according the time and symptoms which usually occur in volcanic mountain. But the people over there believed that this phenomenon related with myth. The lake itself was discovered by Van Such Telen, a citizen of the Netherlands, in 1915.
