Love Valley

Love Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey is unusual, to say the least - it is not something that you see during the thirty seconds of those dizzyingly gorgeous TV adverts enticing you to visit the country - for some strange reason. Apparently, people take one look at this strange geology and think of something else entirely. This modestly named place seems to be made for those with a dirty mind.

Crazy Goats

Living in mountainous regions around North America, mountain goats can be found at altitudes of up to 13,000 feet, climbing cliffs all day long, in search of food. Thanks to their cloven hooves, each featuring two widely-spaced toes that provide great balance, mountain goats can challenge any seasoned climber and probably best him.

Their double-layered, thick white coats provide camouflage in snowy settings, but the altitude they can reach provides enough protection from most predators. And if they happen to run into trouble, they can jump 12 feet in one leap, and reach a safe point. Just check out the pics to get an idea of their climbing capabilities.

















































This is such pure insanity that I thought was a total hoax the first time I saw it, but those really are goats and they really are in trees.

The tree the goats are in is an evergreen argan tree. It is found mostly only in Morocco. The tree reaches heights of 25-30 feet, and has a knobby, twisted trunk that allows for goat climbers. The goats climb the tree because they like to eat the fruit of the tree, which is similar to an olive.

The Deepest Part of the Earth

The Mariana trench is the deepest part of the ocean that we know of. As the picture shows, the deepest part is approximately 36,000 feet deep and is known as the Challenger Deep. Very impressive!

Hearts in Nature

It's that time of year when love is in the air, and it's all over the earth too. Here are a selection of images showing nature has a heart too!

Winter Paradise

I am sure you must be wondering who’s living in such a snowy and isolated place? Well actually, not a lot of people and it’s certainly not their home because its there office! It’s in fact a meteorological station which is located in the Giant Mountains of Krkonose, Czech Republic.
