Enchanted Shores: The Mystical Faroe Islands: Nestled at the base of a mountain-enclosed inlet, a quaint village with grass-roofed houses embodies a mystical and moody atmosphere in Denmark’s Faroe Islands. This particular village, situated on the island of Streymoy, represents just one of the 18 rugged and windswept islands that comprise the remote archipelago located approximately 200 miles off the coast of Scotland. The Faroe Islands offer a stark, breathtaking natural beauty, characterized by dramatic landscapes that include steep cliffs, roaring waterfalls, and expansive green landscapes. These islands are a sanctuary for those seeking solitude and a deep connection with nature, far removed from the bustle of modern life.

Plitvice Lakes National Park CROATIA Croatia's largest national park covering almost 30,000 hectares, is situated in the lower elevations of the Dinarides in the central part of the country. It's known for a chain of 16 terraced lakes, joined by waterfalls, that extend into a limestone canyon. Walkways and hiking trails wind around and across the water, and an electric boat links the 12 upper and 4 lower lakes. Within a beautiful karst landscape dominated by a mix of forests and meadows, the magnificent Plitvice lake system stands out, fascinating scientists and visitors alike. Interconnected by many waterfalls and watercourses above and below ground, the lakes are grouped into the upper and lower lakes. The former are formed on dolomites, with mild relief, not so steep shores and enclosed by thick forests, whereas the latter, smaller and shallower, are situated in limestone canyon with partially steep shores. The lake system is the result of millennia of ongoing geological and biochemical processes creating natural dams known as tufa barriers. These are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate from the waters flowing through the property. In the case of the Plitvice lake system, this geochemical process of tufa formation interacts with living organisms, most importantly mosses, algae and aquatic bacteria. Plitvice Lakes National Park area is mainly covered with very well preserved forests essential for the continuity of geochemical processes in water system (above and below ground), which include an area of 84 ha of old-growth forest of beech and fir. Besides the striking landscape beauty and the processes that continue to shape the lakes, the park is also home to noteworthy biodiversity. The tufa barriers themselves provide habitat for diverse and highly specialized communities of non-vascular plants. Brown Bear, Grey Wolf and Lynx along with many rare species roam the forests, while the meadows are known for their rich flora. ▶️ Watch this reel https://lnkd.in/g-R7aVy4

Faroe Islands are best known for their bird cliffs 🦅🦜🪶 and unspoiled landscape. Nestled between Scotland and Iceland in the Northeast Atlantic, it consist of 18 rugged islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark. The name Føroyar, meaning Sheep Islands, comes from Old Norse, a nod to the Viking settlers who first inhabited the area. Trees are virtually absent due to the harsh winds and wild conditions that make it difficult for them to survive. However, a few resilient trees can be found in more sheltered areas, such as downtown Tórshavn, the capital.  This enchanting collection of islands blends ancient charm with modern conveniences. Vibrant cottages 🏠 and grass-roofed churches stand out against the stark, treeless moors. A network of well-marked footpaths weaves through the dramatic, layered mountains. Even the most remote villages are now accessible thanks to an impressive system of road tunnels. As you sail through the breathtaking fjords on a classic wooden sloop, you can count on your mobile phone to stay connected. 💖 📸: © Istvan Gerencser #BrandStoryAsia #SocialStoriesAsia #TravelStoryAsia #VisitFaroeIslands #TravelNow #DestinationMarketing #InfluencerMarketing #TravelRepresentation #PublicRelations #BrandManagement #TravelIndustry

Proxy Falls in the Cascade Mountains of the Willamette National Forest is a true gem of #Oregon. The two cascading tiers and misty falls create a breathtaking sight. 🧚♀️💫 What makes Proxy Falls unique are the logs that elegantly blanket the rocks in front of the falls. Just be careful, as they can be extremely slippery! So, be sure to watch your step when you visit this beautiful natural wonder! 🤗🌲🌿 #BrandStoryAsia #SocialStoriesAsia #TravelStoryAsia #VisitTheUSA #TravelNow #DestinationMarketing #InfluencerMarketing

Chemical spills, deteriorating facilities and rodent infestations have called into question the safety of Yosemite National Park. Employees of the park blame hospitalitys companies and sometimes tourist behaviours. Sounds familiar to me. Because I experienced similar stories in Nahuel Huapi National Park in Argentinian Patagonia & also in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand (A UNESCO Heritage Site). Interesting debate about how long can we just "use" natural attractions from a trade perspective without not acting in a sustainable way. https://lnkd.in/gTEtKPyB

AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes. This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles. It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late. NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth . Let’s young leaders control future of our planet. NATO and Organization are responsible to bring peace not to manufacturing war guns and tools . We are all in one ship . Please don’t make hole our ship .

Lists: World's Most Unusual Lakes A list from LoveExploring highlights 30 unusual lakes from around the world, including color-shifting crater lakes and bioluminescent waters in Australia. Palau's Eil Malk Island Lake is populated with near-stingless golden jellyfish, and the emerald-green Micronesian waters create, as one visitor reported, a "lava lamp" effect for swimmers. Croatia's Plitvice Lakes, a world heritage site, features 16 interconnected lakes linked by waterfalls. The system's striking colors, caused by sunlight and minerals, draw over a million visitors yearly to hike its trails and paddle in the calm waters. Australia's Gippsland Lakes dazzle with occasional blue-green bioluminescence on summer nights. This phenomenon, caused by Noctiluca scintillans organisms, transforms the waterway into a natural light show. https://lnkd.in/gu9PeN2t
