Rio Caño Cristales, The Lake of Five Colors.

Good afternoon bloggers. 
Today I am going to share with you one of the most beautiful of the world's wonders. 
Rio Caño Cristales, more commonly known as "The River of Five Colors" or "The Liquid Rainbow" has been referred to as "the river that ran away from paradise".




It is a Columbian River located in the Serrania de la Macarena province of Meta. 
The river is just like any other, until the end of July - November when a species of plant called Macarenia clavigera turns the river a spectra of colors including yellow, green, blue, black, and especially red.

The "Blood" Falls Waterfall.

Good evening bloggers. 
Today I am going to share with you an eerie and one of a kind phenomenon.
This mysterious blood-red waterfall is located in remote Antarctica. 







The red coloring is partially the result of saltwater tainted with iron oxide, but the real mystery of these falls is what lives in the water.. Water samples have shown to contain almost no oxygen, but at least 17 different types of alien-like microbes have been identified slithering around in the crimson, blood-like water.

The Sedlec Ossuary, More Commonly Known as The Church of Bones.

Good afternoon bloggers.
Today i am going to share with you a beautiful Roman Catholic church, but this is not your ordinary church.

The Sedlec Ossuary, or Church of Bones in the Czech Republic.

                                     


On the outside it looks like your typical Medievil Gothic Church, but the inside is decorated with more than 40,000 human skeletons. 

The most common known piece of art is the beautiful chandelier of bones that lies right in the center of the church. This colossal chandelier contains at least one of every human bone. 






Stay spooky, friends!
