I came across a blog by Emiel van den Boomen and find his travel to some of the world most surreal place magnificent. I would love to visit some of them in the future.
If you think we can add more surreal places to visit, feel free to leave a comment with picture or link. What place do you know is of true surreality? or what places do you miss on this list? Easter Island, the Star Wars film set in Tunesia, Golden Temple in Kyoto, Red Dunes in Namibia, Grand Canyon? You see, our world is full of surreal places...God's creation is really marvelous!
Just scroll down the list and enjoy the photos. They are just a dream away…
1. Socotra Islands, a small Yemeni archipelago of four islands in the Indian ocean.
2. Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia’s stunning salt lakes
3. Plain of Jars, Laos – Carved by hand from solid rock, no one knows for certain who made the jars, what they were used for, or how old they are, although they are thought to be up to 2,500 years old. There are hundreds scattered around the plain of jars.
4. Coastal dunes in the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Brazil) – A landscape consisting of dunes up to 40 metres high, interspersed with lagoons of clear fresh water which form during the rainy season. The wind from the Atlantic Ocean creates the impressive scenery.
5. Crystal caves in Naica, Mexico – The cave contains some of the largest natural crystals ever found: translucent gypsum beams measuring up to 36 feet (11 meters) long and weighing up to 55 tons.
6. “NPO Energomash” named after academician V.P.Glushko, a company developing rocket engines for space launch-vehicles. This is an abandoned factory that reminds me of spaceships in movies like Alien.
7. Chand Baori, – A famous stepwell situated in the village Abhaneri near Jaipur in Indian state of Rajasthan.
8. Pointe du Hoc, Normandy, France. What you see on the picture are bomb craters from D-day, World War II.
9. Nazca lines Peru. Giant sketches drawn in the desert of western Peru by ancient peoples. Purpose? Nobody knows.
10. Cappadocia, Turkey. A region of exceptional natural wonders, in particular characterized by the fairy chimneys.
