There are many strange places
around the world. I would like
to enlighten you with a few mysterious places which you may not have heard from others and will trigger your interest to know
more about it............
These were designed to protect England from a potential Nazi invasion
during WWII. Today, they stand empty, ghosts guarding the coast (except for the
occasional sea bird or vandals).
2.Ocean View Park in Budai :
Taiwan is now home for a new church, that looks like an high heel pump shoe. The church is made of blue tinted glass and is measuring 55 feet tall and 36 feet wide. According to the South west Coast National Scenic Area spokesman, the idea behind an unusual design is to attract female worshippers. The church will have over a hundred female-oriented features, including “chairs for lovers, maple leaves, cookies and cakes.”
3.Jacob’s Well (Texas):
This natural spring is over 100 feet deep. Many locals jump into the well for recreation, even though there are sharp rocks jutting out from all sides. Scuba divers explore the depths of this well, but with caution.
Behind the cascade of a small waterfall in the Shale Creek Preserve section of Chestnut ridge park in suburban Buffalo, New York, you might see what appears to be an optical illusion: a flickering golden flame. Actually, you'll smell it before you see it, and amazingly, it's real, fuelled by what geologists call a macro seep of natural gas from the Earth below. A geological fault in the shale allows about 1 kilogram of methane gas per day to escape to the surface, where, at some point, possibly the early 20th century, a visitor had the idea to set it alight. The water occasionally extinguishes the flame, but there's always another hiker with a lighter to reignite it.
5. Relampago del Catatumbo, Ologa, Venezuela:
Thanks to its humidity, its elevation and clash of winds from the mountains and the sea,the south western corner of Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela has the world's highest frequency of lighting activity(250 flashes per square kilometre per year). More than 200 nights per year, with peaks in May and October, lighting flashes fill the sky--sometimes 25 or more flashes per minute.To put that in perspective: The national Weather Service classifies anything over 12 strikes per minute as ''excessive'', Names for the catatumbo River, which flows from Colombia in to lake Maracaibo, the Relampago de Catatumbo, or Catatumbo Lighting, has become a highlight for travellers who spend their nights wide awake and wide-eyed watching the spectacle.
