Frozen air bubbles in Abraham Lake.
Abraham
Lake is an artificial lake on North Saskatchewan River in western
Alberta, Canada. The plants on the lake bed release methane gas and
methane gets frozen once coming close enough to much colder lake surface
and they keep stacking up below once the weather gets colder and colder
during the winter season.
Giant clouds over Beijing.
According
to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, it was just a giant
cumulonimbus cloud, and its unusual shape was formed due to the fact
that the cloud initially developed vertically, but after meeting with
warmer layers of air began to grow horizontally.

water, the ground is covered in a layer of salt crust so reflective, it
perfectly mirrors the sky.

Spiderweb cocooned trees in Pakistan.

water has taken so long to recede, many trees have become cocooned in
ghostly spiders webs.
