At the age of 19, I had the honor to travel between China and Pakistan via the Karakorum Highway.

But if you’ve ever been to the Taj Mahal at sunrise or Petra at sunset, you know that nature adds its own touches to man-made creations. And when nature does this for not-so-beautiful things humans make, the results can be spectacular.
Fly Geyser or Fly Ranch Geyser in Washoe County, Nevada, has already made a list in Listverse. But this ever changing formation is worth a second look.
