Some of these photographs will leave you amazed, some will leave you perplexed, and others will leave you questioning whether they are indeed from this planet.
Take for instance the Fly Geyser on a private ranch in Nevada. Looking like it belongs to a fairytale alien landscape, this is part man-made part-natural.
In 1964 it was accidentally created when exploratory drilling for sources of geothermal energy tapped in to the natural hot springs. But it was never capped properly and over the years, the minerals have built up the amazing structure that still spouts water today.
The picture was taken by US based British photographer Andy Waddington, 42, originally from Southport. He said: It's a very difficult place to photograph.The water is very hot and gives off a lot of steam so the wind has to blow from the north or you can't see anything.'
Then there is the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, at 10,500sqkm, the world's largest salt plain. Here, at 12,000ft, a couple of centimetres of water covers the plain but sits perfectly still because there is no wind. It allows the stunning skies to be mirrored perfectly in the water.
