Fire tornado
How do they happen?
I'm pretty sure it's when a tornado crosses a significant source of fire, like an exploded oil tanker.
Like when the lit oil is added to the cyclone.

Don't touch it.
Just curious, do you know why the ice formed like that?
That's not ice. It's mineral buildup composited by centuries of the mineral-rich water, acids, and/or bases common of most hot springs.
No, it's ice. Pamukkale is a hot spring, so ice just formed around the pools.
I'm pretty sure it's a buildup of calcium, but I don't know. Considering that the country around it is arid, it wouldn't make a great deal of sense for there to be ice on it.

According to Wikipedia, the pink has no adverse effects on humans.
. . . But they probably don't want it being disturbed or changed by foreign contaminates.

It's the color, I believe. The resemblance ends there.
Interesting thing to know about banana slugs: if you get stung by stinging nettles, rub the slime of the banana slug on it and it helps. That or you can use the spore side of a sword fern.

The brine shrimp get everywhere and the bottom of the lake is squishy. Not to mention I got salt water up my nose and almost drown. Also the brine flies (I think that's they're called) stick to you after you get out of the lake, and the bathrooms are full of giant spiders. Not the best experience...

And does anyone know how to make the pictures bigger? They're so small.
I've been to GoG.
And it makes the size based of the picture resolution I think.
It's a little weird that not one of the pictures I've found are big, and all the pictures you guys post aren't small. Just saying... :)

I went on Google and found the same images you used, but only the ones from GoG. Are you sure you clicked "Veiw Image" and copied that url?
Yes, I clicked View Image, then copied the url at the top of the page.

Quote from: Izeroth on February 14, 2015, 04:00:34 PMThe bridge was formed over millions of years as a result of erosion.
According to Rand McNally (in the map, atlas and globe business for travel and educational purposes for nearly 160 years - to me, a credible source), "the natural bridge...was formed by wind and erosion consistently over millions of years." These aren't the only factors that often go into the making of natural phenomena, but it doesn't seem that Izeroth is speaking incorrectly or inventing 'facts.' His description is almost verbatim the original. (Source: http://blog.randmcnally.com/2011/04/29/natural_bridge_state_resort_park/)
Also, the continental ice sheets of the last glacial period, ending 10-12kya, never reached as far south into Kentucky as the state park. I just googled some maps for that.
So, *looks pointedly at you all one by one* if you see something you question, fact-check, and if you want to explain something, cite your source. All right, guys, thanks for the fun.
Oh dear. I think that Del and Mhera's problem is more to do with their religion and beliefs.
Hmmm. That's an angle I hadn't seen. As a believer in both science and religion, I would love to discuss that, but this is not the thread. On that note, here's a picture of mountains in Lesotho that takes my breath away.

@Sor heh, no we're not and I can't see the pic... :P
@Banya yes, Mask is right. Our "problem" is that while we also believe in science, we interpret it through the framework that the Bible provides (i.e. the earth was created by God in six days, a world wide flood did occur, the dispersion from Babel was a real event, etc.). I too would love to talk about this, but you're correct in saying that this is not the place. PM me or start another thread, I am absolutely open to discussion on this topic :).

Yeah, these columns, called columnar basalt, were formed when a lava flow contracted as it cooled and created those cracks in the shape of tall columns. It really is an amazing formation.
This is the Cave of Crystals in Mexico, which contains some of the largest crystals in the world. The cave is so hot that it's dangerous for a person to stay in the intense heat for more than 10 minutes without protective equipment.

I can see why its called that, Banya!
Oh my goodness, Sierra, that's gorgeous.
Sunset at Xingping, China. The photo nearly takes my breath away; seeing this in person would be incredible.

I'm glad that you both liked my hometown, girls :)
That's amazing, Banya!
Bariloche is a dream come true. Incredibly snowy and whitey on winter, almost selvatic on summer, the city is placed in the exact borderline of civilization... if you keep going to the south you will eventually find another towns and even a large province, but you can't really walk nor drive further than this point. It is just magical.

Also, did you know that the students on Chile and Argentina (the city is placed within the Argentinean limits, btw) have made a tradition to go there on their last year of high school?

@Sierra: that's beautiful. A school trip there would be incredible.
@Iz: that's intense.

In case I haven't been clear, I like waterfalls and the caves behind them.
You would probably like my state then :P There are all these exposed limestone formations, and waterfalls often appear when it rains.
Are you from somewhere along the Appalachian range? You don't need to name your state if you don't want to, though I'm curious. I few years ago I took a long road trip and visited countless waterfalls throughout Maryland, West Virginia and the Carolinas. It was the best trip I've ever been on.

Awesome! That's a gorgeous state! I've been to Kentucky several times and I love driving through the mountains and seeing limestone ridges that border the highway. I spent two nights in Kentucky earlier this month while I was on spring break, but both times we drove through the state at night, unfortunately. Oh, and congratulations on Kentucky's bracket success!
I'm not a big fan of UK :P

One of my good friends has been to Madagascar and says that it's a great place.

Yeah, there are a lot of beautiful places on this world, but none of them is as peaceful as that one.
^Hi Angel! Welcome to the forum! Check out the Introduction Topic in the Front Laws so everyone else can welcome you also.
I have a feeling Mhera would like this one; she seems to like Arctic/Antarctic photos.

Ah yeah :D I really want to go to Antartica at some point. It's second on my to-visit list behind Iceland.

If you're wearing a dry suit, you can wear thermal clothes underneath to protect from the cold.

Those photos are gorgeous, Iz.
Here's an eerie one I found while looking for a vacation for Matthias in "Bribe the Moderators." It gives me the chills, looking like a ghost ship in those black depths.
(http://dailynewsdig.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/vacation-spots-3.jpg)
Concerning Russa's earlier photo, I'd say it's somewhere in the American Southwest or Central America based on the colour of the rocks. Leave me some room for error, though.
I can't see your pic, Banya :(
Odd. It's showing up for me.
Still not showing up here, but it must be my Internet playing dirty again.
Spoiler
I uploaded it to Imgur just in case I'm not the only one who's having that problem, though: http://i.imgur.com/PDx8ign.jpg
And it is an amazing picture, btw.
Ooh, that is kind of creepy...

That is beautiful :o, I love the contrast in between the "layers" too.
I've had a fascination with the Sahara Desert most of my life. Photos of sandy hills do tend to look the same after a while, so here are some beautiful photos of desert oases.

Wow, that's a lot of flowers... is it a flower farm or something?
No, bluebonnets are wildflowers. They pop up in Texas during the spring (they're the state flower), but I can't say fields like that are common. This is more typical:
