The Seven Forgotten Natural Wonders of the World

The creations of nature have always remained a mystery to the mankind. It is really beyond the perception and comprehension of human mind how Supreme Nature has continued with its miraculous creations! Nature sometimes seems to be an invisible artist or painter who paints magnificent landscapes with one stroke of his brush; these landscapes are either vibrant with colours or are brown, grey and dark with rugged and ravaged features. Sometimes Nature seems to be at his peculiar fancy -playing the role of a creator or destroyer- inventing and devastating at his omnipotent will.
