Whitehaven Beach Is the whitest beach in the world

Whitehaven Beach is a definite “must-see” in the Whitsundays. The crystal clear aqua waters and pristine silica sand of Whitehaven stretch over seven kilometres along Whitsunday Island , the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. It defines nature at its best and provides the greatest sense of relaxation and escape.




As soon as you arrive it’s easy to see why it is the most photographed beach in Australia and has been named ” Queensland ’s Most Beautiful Beach” by ‘Keep Australia Beautiful’, a title that has never before been bestowed upon a beach in Queensland , and may never be again.Read more here .

Whitehaven beach, a beach ill never forget, not only for its beautiful white sand, clear waters and serenity but the fact that that’s the place I was proposed to! What more could i ask for! The beach is so pristine and untouched that the sand just makes you want to lay in it all day. Definitely worth a trip to the whitsundays just to see this beach, dont let life go by without seeing it! Thanks to Kassi.

The Karnak Temple - Largest Ancient Temple in the World

The Luxor temple is one of the two grandiose temples of ancient Thebes. It’s complex architecture and colossal statues seem to make anyone feel puny at the sight of it (especially at night – when the beautifully illuminated walls seem to rise even higher).
One of the inscriptions on the walls of the temple seemed particularly interesting – the blessing of an ascending pharaoh. It is depicted as a multitude of life-keys pouring over the pharaoh – symbolizing the purification with holy water.

Entrance to the Karnak Temple

The Karnak temple is the largest ancient religious site in the World. This is because every pharaoh contributed to it as it was probably the most important temple in Egypt (dedicated to the gods: Amun-Ra, Montu and Mut). Every pharaoh raced to show his respect to the supreme gods and also earn the appreciation of the clergymen. So every pharaoh built a pylon or obelisk or sphinx or an entire complex within the temple. This fact helped archeologists in two ways: it shows very explicitly the magnitude of each pharaoh and also shows the way the ancient Egyptians constructed the buildings (as there is a unfinished pillar that shows very clearly the method of construction).

Huge Stone Mushrooms in the Village of Beli Plast, in Bulgaria

The village of Beli Plast in Bulgaria has a very specific natural phenomena.  There you can find a huge stone mushrooms. There is a dozen of those strange looking ‘mushrooms’ in Beli Plast and they are limestone boulders. The largest of them is three meters height.



Those mushrooms were created as an consequence of erosion caused by water during thousands of years in the past. Now when water has disappeared from this area, those eroded lime stones became pretty interesting natural phenomena for visitors and tourists.
