20 Natural Wonders That Didn’t Make The Cut
We all grew up learning about the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, which up until recently, consisted of The Grand Canyon, The Great Barrier Reef, Harbour of Rio de Janeiro, Mount Everest, Aurora Borealis, Paricutin Volcano and Victoria Falls. In 2001 However, a Swiss corporation called New7Wonders, in conjunction with UNESCO, started an initiative to choose new wonders, based on public voting. On the 07/07/07, a brand new list of 7 man-made Wonders was released after more than 100,000,000 votes from the public where cast. Later in the same year, the 7 New Wonders of Nature campaign was launched, and the Vote count took place on 11/11/11. The announcement was made and now our new 7 Natural Wonders of the world consists of – The Amazon River, Halong bay, Iquazu Falls, Jeju Island, Komodo Island, Puerto Princesa Underground River and Table Mountain. In this list I was less interested in looking at the 7 winning entries, as I am sure they will be spoken about for years to come, and more interested in looking at the entries that did not make it, as they might soon be forgotten. Of the 28 finalists for wish the public voted, this list is all about 20 that did not make it onto the list. All the entries are listed in alphabetical order, as I cannot judge which is better.
Angel Falls
Venezuela, 5°58′03″N 62°32′08″W
At a height of 979m, Angel Falls is the world’s highest waterfall. Found in the Canaima National Park in Venezuela, which has been a UNESCO World heritage site since 1994. The waterfall drops over the edge of Mt Auyantepui and plummets into the Korep River almost a kilometer below. This spectacular waterfall was named after Jimmie Angel, who was the first U.S. pilot to fly over the falls. The falls makes for one of Venezuela’s most popular tourist attractions, even though reaching it proves to be rather difficult as visitors will need to fly to the Canaima camp before trekking through the jungle and taking boats up the river. Trips to the falls can only be made during the rainy season when there is enough water to take the boats up river and get a glimpse of the magical waterfall.

Picture taken at the right moment
Sometimes I would like to have on hand any device that would be able to stop time. Benefit of such a device - not a fruit of artistic science fiction but a reality. This is the most common camera. After all, we need only to click, as immediately, as if with a wave of a magic wand, people, objects, paintings, and freeze the situation in the eternal silence, motionless. And then most importantly choose the right moment you press the camera. After all, a picture can get very original if you click on the "out of place."
