Never thought that Pyramid Lake would have such amazing diversity of wildlife and landscape. It felt like the ocean or perhaps a dead sea.

Giant sand dune (among the largest in the world found here) inside Namib-Naukluft National Park near Sossusvlei, Namibia in southern Africa. Called the "Red Desert" for the color of the sand (related to high content of iron oxides), scientists say it is perhaps the oldest desert in the world, estimated to have formed more than 250 million years ago. The process is ongoing, with sands blowing in from the neighboring Kalahari Desert literally swallowing up entire mountain ranges. It is truly a wonder of the world. The dunes are identified by numbers, rather than names, by park rangers. If you look closely in this image, you can see a person walking up the dune.
19e Pyramide de chaussures organisée samedi dernier par Handicap International pour que cesse le scandale des mines et des bombes à sous-munitions.
Les mines antipersonnel font encore une victime toutes les deux heures dans le monde ! Handicap International accompagne les victimes, démine les terres et prévient les accidents. L’association se mobilise également contre les restes explosifs de guerre (dont les bombes à sous-munitions) et leur usage en zones peuplées.
Pyramid, Scottish Highlands.
This wonder was erected by a broken hearted Queen Victoria in 1862 following the death of Prince Albert at age 42 the previous year. It sits on a picturesque hillside overlooking Balmoral Castle.
Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death on 22 January 1901.

Ball's Pyramid is a remnant of a shield volcano and caldera that formed about 7 million years ago. It's 20 Km (12 miles) southeast of Lord Howe Island in the Pacific Ocean. Standing 562 metres (1,844 ft) high, it the tallest volcanic stack in the world and makes an impressive sight from the plane windows on approach to Lord Howe Island. Even from 20 Km it's quite a sight.
This is Pyramid Lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada, being overlooked by Pyramid Mountain.
In Catherine Park of Tsarskoe Selo most of the pavilions are in baroque or classical style. Thus this ancient looking pyramid which was built in 1772 appears very unexpected and assails the senses.

La pirámide de Micerino (nombre helenizado) o de Menkauraz (según su nombre egipcio) es la menor de las tres célebres pirámides de la necrópolis de la meseta de Guiza. A Menkaura, faraón de la dinastía IV, se le atribuye ordenar construir esta pirámide. Conocida en su época como "La Pirámide Divina" era parte del complejo funerario junto con tres pirámides subsidiarias, un templo funerario, el templo del valle y una calzada procesional que vinculaba ambos templos. mas info

Pyramidal Orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) on the roadside verge of Exminster bypass, Devon, England.
A widespread, but local orchid on limestone and chalk, and near the coast, especially on dunes. It's not very common in Devon due to the relative scarcity of calcareous soils, though it may be increasing locally around Exeter/the Exe. I first came across them at this site on the verge of Sannerville Way (the A379) in 2012 when checking the verge after first noticing Southern Marsh-orchids whilst driving past the year before. I've also found Bee Orchids, which also seem to perhaps be increasing locally, here.
See my other Pyramidal Orchid photos.
View from the Giza Pyramids.
I was lucky enough to have this wonderful view from the airplane - and also the right amount of time to take the picture :)
