Mikhail Vershinin became interested in photography as a child; he had to give up visiting the photo studio in favor of another hobby - rock climbing and mountaineering, but even on sports routes he took his camera with him. The craving for traveling in wild places and the passion for filming eventually led Mikhail Vershinin to landscape photography. He explains his choice of this particular genre not only by a craving for nature, but also by a special mood, the ability to convey feelings and emotions with the help of a captured moment. Mikhail Vershinin's works have repeatedly become finalists and winners of Russian and international competitions, including “National Geographic Russia - 2004” and FIAP Trierenberg Super Circuit - 2011 in the “Night Image” category.

Pink Bubble Gum Hillier is a 2000 foot wide lake located on Middle Island in Western Australia. You can see this natural wonder by plane or take a tour from the nearby town of Esperance. The reasons for such a bright pink color of the reservoir are not completely known. One of them is high level salts and dye bacteria.

Caño Cristales River, Colombia

"Rainbow River" or "River of Five Colors", Caño in Colombia puts on quite a show every year between July and November. At this time, the algae turns blood red and gives the river an eerie but beautiful hue. And you can find this treasure in the Sierra de la Macarena National Park in the Meta department.

The striped rocks of Danxia are located near Zhangye in the Chinese province of Gansu. The rich colors are the result of the interweaving of sandstone and minerals that formed here millions of years ago.

The rice terraces in Yuanyang Province were created by the ancestors of the Han tribe more than 1,000 years ago to irrigate the red rice crop. In winter and spring, the plantations are flooded with water, which allows you to enjoy the play of sunlight, and in summer the terraces are covered with green shoots.

The largest hot spring in Yellowstone is about 90 meters in diameter and its depth reaches 50 meters. The bright blue water in the center of the pool is too hot (188 degrees Fahrenheit) to support life, but bacteria and algae thrive around the edges. Heat-loving bacteria produce orange, yellow and red pigments in the spring, so it is best to admire the reservoir during this period. You will be greeted by a sight of simply indescribable beauty.

Rapeseed flowers cover Luping County with a golden blanket every spring. You can see all this splendor with your own eyes if you go to China in March.

Some landscapes come to life with sunlight. These, for example, include Antelope Canyon in Arizona. Its rich orange, pink and purple colors attract not only travelers, but also photographers.

The deepest lake in the world - Baikal - is located in Siberia and reaches more than 1600 meters in depth. It also contains almost 20% of the world's unfrozen fresh water reserves. And when the reservoir freezes, it acquires a mesmerizing turquoise hue of ice.

Red Beach Beach is located in the delta of the Liaohe River in Liaoning Province. It got its name from the algae that blooms in the fall and turns the beach into a lush red meadow. If you wait until the tide goes out, you can fully enjoy the unique spectacle. Every spring, tourists come to the Netherlands to be surrounded by tulips. From mid-March to the end of May, rich shades of flowers adorn the country's landscapes. Do you want to get to the very peak of flowering? Then book your tickets for mid-April. The deciduous forests of the northeastern United States come out of a vibrant, colorful tapestry in the fall. Yellow, orange, red, green mountains attract the gaze of thousands of travelers from all over the world.

Fly Geyser, Nevada, USA

The fantastic geyser in the Black Rock Desert in Washoe County, Nevada is closed to the public as it is located on private property. But not everything is so sad, the owners offer exclusive tours to this natural attraction.
