Option 1. Unique and indescribably beautiful nature in autumn. Despite the fact that rain and fog are quite common, there are also clear, quiet days for a walk in the nearest forest. Sit down and admire golden robe of the forest, listen to the singing of birds, watch the birds fly away. Somewhere in the distance thunder roared. Drop by drop it began to rain. Hiding under a tree, he looked around. How beautiful it is all around I like autumn nature. The air is so fresh! I don't want to go home at all.
Option 2. Human and nature are closely related to each other. Nature creates all the conditions for human life, which is why it is so important to live in harmony with it. Beautiful landscapes of nature fill a person’s soul with delight, only this beauty is truly mesmerizing. Man's interest in nature is limitless; how many secrets and mysteries the forests and seas contain. There's a lot we don't know yet about nature. To enjoy the beauty of nature, you don’t need to travel far, just go to a park or forest. Nature is especially beautiful in the fall, when you want to sit on benches and absorb all its beauty and enjoy it. It is then that you feel how your soul is filled with new colors, how it is saturated with the beauty of the world around you. At these moments you realize how closely people are connected with nature.
The most beautiful place on earth is our native land. How many interesting things happened here, how many pleasant memories are associated with this place! Here is a nice house where my mother was waiting for me from school. You return home and there are fragrant pancakes with milk on the table. Could anything be tastier!
No matter where in the world a person finds himself, he will never forget his native land. And, of course, each of us has a favorite corner of nature in our homeland. This is the most beautiful place where you can be alone with yourself. So for me this is a forest with a small river. Why is this place so attractive? I remember winter days, when a blizzard swirls, the trees put on a luxurious snow-white outfit, and the bright sun shines. The forest path becomes light and spacious, the snow crunches underfoot. How pleasant it is to wander through such a forest, admire its decorations, and plunge into your dreams. The walk leads to a beautiful clearing where we often spend time with friends. This is my favorite cozy corner. It's good to visit here alone. Gentle sun, blue sky, green grass. And how beautiful the rowan looks here. From spring to autumn she is elegant. Every day the berries on it become brighter and more orange. And then rowan bonfires flare up on the forest edge. They burn for a long time and illuminate the forest clearing with their brightness. Flocks of blackbirds fly here for a merry feast. Isn't it nice to enjoy the beauty of such a corner of nature? Near the rowan tree, an aspen trembles with its leaves. We all know that aspen trees constantly tremble as soon as there is even a slight breeze. The thin long petiole to which the leaf blade is attached contributes to this condition of the tree. The wind twists the leaves of the aspen the way it wants, which is why it trembles. Amazing tree! It seems that because of his movement the forest simply comes to life.
Of course, in my favorite forest you can find other wonderful places, but it was this clearing that I remember most. Every time I go there I enjoy it. It is very important to notice the beauty of our native nature, to look closely and see its secrets.
I would also like to note that next to my favorite forest clearing there flows a river, near which we spent our entire early childhood. If you look closely, it seems that the river is bordered by extraordinary lace, which seems to have been created by the hands of skilled craftswomen. This amazingly beautiful lace is created by birch trees and spreading willows, thickets of reeds and poplars. You will come to such a clearing, lie down on the grass and look at the sky, trusting your own dreams to the running clouds, watching how the sun's rays fade and play as bunnies in the trees, in the water, in the foliage.
Therefore, we can say that a favorite corner of our native nature is the most wonderful place for each of us. This place is hidden from prying eyes. Here you can sit in silence, stay with your thoughts and dreams. Or you can sit with friends around the fire. Nature always helps us understand ourselves. And we want to return to our native lands again and again. This place will remain in the heart of every person forever.
- It was a foggy autumn morning. I walked through the forest, deep in thought. I walked slowly, without haste, and the wind blew my scarf and leaves hanging from the high branches. They swayed in the wind and seemed to be peacefully talking about something. What were these leaves whispering about? Perhaps they were whispering about the past summer and the hot rays of the sun, without which they had now become so yellow and dry. Perhaps they were trying to call for cool streams that could give them something to drink and bring them back to life. Perhaps they were whispering about me. But only a whisper […]
- Lake Baikal is known throughout the world. It is famous for being the largest and deepest lake. The water in the lake is suitable for drinking, so it is very valuable. The water in Baikal is not only drinking, but also healing. It is saturated with minerals and oxygen, so its consumption has a positive effect on human health. Baikal is located in a deep depression and is surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges. The area near the lake is very beautiful and has rich flora and fauna. Also, the lake is home to many species of fish - almost 50 [...]
- I live in a green and beautiful country. It's called Belarus. Her unusual name speaks of the purity of these places and the unusual landscapes. They exude calm, spaciousness and kindness. And this makes you want to do something, enjoy life and admire nature. There are a lot of rivers and lakes in my country. They splash gently in the summer. In spring, their sonorous murmur is heard. In winter, the mirror-like surface attracts ice skating enthusiasts. In autumn, yellow leaves glide across the water. They talk about the imminent cold snap and the upcoming hibernation. […]
- Autumn beauty in a bright outfit. In summer, rowan is invisible. She blends in with other trees. But in the fall, when the trees dress in yellow outfits, it can be seen from afar. The bright red berries attract the attention of people and birds. People admire the tree. Birds feast on his gifts. Even in winter, when the snow is white everywhere, rowan berries delight with their juicy tassels. Her images can be found on many New Year's cards. Artists love rowan because it makes winter more fun and colorful. Poets also love wood. Her […]
- There are many wonderful professions, and each of them is undoubtedly necessary for our world. Someone builds buildings, someone extracts resources useful to the country, someone helps people dress stylishly. Any profession, like any person, is completely different, but they all must eat. That is why such a profession as a cook appeared. At first glance, it may seem that the kitchen is a simple area. What's so hard about cooking? But in fact, the art of cooking is one of […]
- Since childhood, my parents told me that our country is the largest and strongest in the world. At school, during lessons, my teacher and I read a lot of poems dedicated to Russia. And I believe that every Russian should be proud of his Motherland. Our grandparents make us proud. They fought the fascists so that today we could live in a quiet and peaceful world, so that we, their children and grandchildren, would not be affected by the arrow of war. My Motherland has not lost a single war, and if things were bad, Russia will still […]
- Language... How much meaning does one word of five letters carry? With the help of language, a person from early childhood gets the opportunity to explore the world, convey emotions, communicate his needs, and communicate. Language arose in the distant prehistoric period, when there was a need among our ancestors, during joint work, to convey their thoughts, feelings, desires to their relatives. With its help, we can now study any objects, phenomena, the world around us, and over time improve our knowledge. We have […]
- Since childhood, we go to school and study different subjects. Some believe that this is an unnecessary matter and only takes away free time that can be spent on computer games and something else. I think differently. There is a Russian proverb: “Learning is light, but ignorance is darkness.” This means that for those who learn a lot of new things and strive for this, a bright road to the future opens up ahead. And those who are lazy and do not study at school will remain all their lives in the darkness of stupidity and ignorance. People who strive for [...]
- Today, the Internet is available in almost every home. You can find a lot of very useful information on the Internet for studying or for anything else. Many people watch movies and play games on the Internet. You can also find a job or even new friends on the Internet. The Internet helps not to lose contact with relatives and friends who live far away. Thanks to the Internet, you can contact them at any time. Mom very often cooks delicious dishes that she found on the Internet. Also, the Internet will help those who like to read, but [...]
- Our speech consists of many words, thanks to which we can convey any thought. For ease of use, all words are divided into groups (parts of speech). Each of them has its own name. Noun. This is a very important part of speech. It means: object, phenomenon, substance, property, action and process, name and title. For example, rain is a natural phenomenon, a pen is an object, running is an action, Natalya is a female name, sugar is a substance, and temperature is a property. Many other examples can be given. Titles […]
- What is peace? Living in peace is the most important thing there can be on Earth. No war will make people happy, and even by increasing their own territories, at the cost of war, they do not become richer morally. After all, no war is complete without deaths. And those families where they lose their sons, husbands and fathers, even if they know that they are heroes, will still never enjoy victory after receiving the loss of a loved one. Only peace can achieve happiness. Only through peaceful negotiations should the rulers of different countries communicate with the people and […]
- My grandmother's name is Irina Aleksandrovna. She lives in Crimea, in the village of Koreiz. Every summer my parents and I go to visit her. I really like living with my grandmother, walking along the narrow streets and green alleys of Miskhor and Koreiz, sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the Black Sea. Now my grandmother is retired, but before she worked as a nurse in a sanatorium for children. Sometimes she took me to her work. When my grandmother put on a white robe, she became strict and a little alien. I helped her take the children’s temperatures - carry [...]
- Our whole life is governed by certain sets of rules, the absence of which can provoke anarchy. Just imagine, if traffic rules, the constitution and criminal code, and rules of behavior in public places are abolished, chaos will begin. The same applies to speech etiquette. Today, many people do not attach much importance to the culture of speech, for example, on social networks you can increasingly see young people writing illiterately, and on the street – illiterate and rude communication. I think this is a problem [...]
- Since ancient times, language has helped people understand each other. A person has repeatedly thought about why it is needed, who invented it and when? And why is it different from the language of animals and other peoples. Unlike the signal cry of animals, with the help of language a person can convey a whole range of emotions, his mood, and information. Depending on the nationality, each person has their own language. We live in Russia, so our native language is Russian. Russian is spoken by our parents, friends, as well as great writers – [...]
- It was a beautiful day - June 22, 1941. People were going about their normal business when the terrible news came out - the war had begun. On this day, Nazi Germany, which had conquered Europe until that moment, attacked Russia. No one doubted that our Motherland would be able to defeat the enemy. Thanks to patriotism and heroism, our people were able to survive this terrible time. In the period from 41 to 45 of the last century, the country lost millions of people. They fell victims to ruthless battles for territory and power. Neither […]
- My dear and best in the world, my Russia. This summer, my parents and sister and I went on vacation to the sea in the city of Sochi. There were several other families where we lived. A young couple (they recently got married) came from Tatarstan and said that they met while working on the construction of sports facilities for the Universiade. In the room next to us lived a family with four small children from Kuzbass, their father was a miner, extracting coal (he called it “black gold”). Another family came from the Voronezh region, [...]
- Friendship is a mutual, vibrant feeling, in no way inferior to love. It’s not only necessary to be friends, it’s simply necessary to be friends. After all, not a single person in the world can live his whole life alone; a person simply needs communication for both personal growth and spiritual growth. Without friendship, we begin to withdraw into ourselves, suffering from misunderstanding and understatement. For me, a close friend is equivalent to a brother or sister. Such relationships are not afraid of any problems or hardships of life. Everyone understands the concept [...]
- My home is my castle. This is true! It does not have thick walls or towers. But my small and friendly family lives there. My house is a simple apartment with windows. Because my mom always jokes and my dad plays along with her, the walls of our apartment are always filled with light and warmth. I have an older sister. We don't always get along, but I still miss my sister's laughter. After school I want to run home along the steps of the entrance. I know I'll open the door and smell Mom and Dad's shoe polish. I will step over […]
- The poetry boom of the sixties of the 20th century The sixties of the 20th century were the time of the rise of Russian poetry. Finally, a thaw came, many prohibitions were lifted and authors were able to openly express their opinions without fear of repression and expulsion. Collections of poetry began to be published so frequently that, perhaps, there has never been such a “publishing boom” in the field of poetry, either before or since. The “calling cards” of this time were B. Akhmadulina, E. Yevtushenko, R. Rozhdestvensky, N. Rubtsov, and, of course, the rebel bard […]
- Adults love to repeat the words of the Russian poet A.S. Pushkin “Reading is the best skill.” I was taught to read at the age of 4. And I really like to read different books. Especially real ones that are printed on paper. I like to first look at the pictures in the book and imagine what it is about. Then I start reading. The plot of the book completely captivates me. You can learn a lot of interesting things from books. There are encyclopedia books. They tell about everything that is in the world. Of these, the most entertaining are about different […]
The nature of Russia is our main wealth. In our country we have the highest mountain in Europe, the largest forest, the largest swamp, a pink lake and the most unusual desert.
1. Baikal
Baikal is the deepest lake in the world (1642 meters). It ranks first in the world among freshwater lakes in terms of volume of fresh water (19% of world reserves). There is more of it than in all five Great Lakes combined. If suddenly all the water on Earth disappears, Baikal will be able to provide water to humanity for five years.
2. Valley of Geysers
There are about 100 geysers in the Valley of Geysers, 20 of them are large. They are comparable in size to the hot springs of Iceland, Yellowstone National Park and New Zealand. Their uniqueness is that they are located in a small area (only 5 km along the Geysernaya River).
3. Krasnoyarsk pillars
There is such a phenomenon - “stolbism” - a fanatical desire to conquer Krasnoyarsk rock climbing without insurance. The pillars are located 3-7 km from Krasnoyarsk, there are more than a hundred of them and each has its own name. Their age is 500 million years.
Their height reaches 90 meters. The uniqueness of the pillars is that a reserve was created here back in 1925, on the territory of which there are about 1,300 species of plants, 58 species of mammals, and 199 species of birds. Every year about 200 thousand tourists come to admire the Krasnoyarsk pillars.
4. Vasyugan swamps
This is the world's largest swamp system in the north of the Tomsk region on the plateau between the Ob and Irtysh. The age of the swamps is 10 thousand years. The area is more than 53 thousand km², the length of the swamps from west to east is 573 kilometers.
Every year the swamp captures new territories. It is a source of water, a reservoir of oil and gas, peat, and an area of untouched nature inhabited by rare species of birds and animals.
5. Komi Forest
The primeval Komi forest became the first natural site in Russia recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This is a huge untouched natural area (15% of the territory of the Komi Republic).
The uniqueness of the forest is that nature here has retained its original appearance. Not long ago, gold deposits were discovered in the Komi forest. But the state decided that virgin forest was more valuable than gold, so its production was frozen.
6. Vottovaara
The mountain in Karelia is called the “Russian Stonehenge”. There are megaliths, lakes, bizarre trees and even a stone staircase. Vottovaara is called “Stonehenge” because of the seids, the huge stones that are located here.
There are several versions of their appearance. According to one of them, the subsidence of the glacier led to this arrangement of stones, according to another, the reason was an earthquake that occurred here BC. Some scientists believe that seids are of artificial origin and had a cult purpose among the Sami.
7. Weathering pillars
The weathering pillars on Mount Manpupuner in Komi are also called “Mansi balvans”. These are 7 rocks with a height of 32 to 42 meters. They are called weathering pillars because 200 million ago there were mountains here, but over time they collapsed, exposing the remains of hard rock. Previously, these stone sculptures were worshiped by the Mansi; today the pillars are a unique and inaccessible geological monument.
8. Elbrus
Elbrus is a volcano in the western part of the Caucasus range, which has been inactive for about 2 thousand years. Its height is 5642 meters. It is the highest mountain in the Caucasus, the highest mountain in Europe and the highest point in Russia.
Elbrus is covered by 23 glaciers, the area of which is more than 130 square kilometers. Elbrus supplies water to almost the entire North Caucasus. Its glaciers give life to three large rivers - Kuban, Malku and Baksan.
9. Lena Pillars
The Lena Pillars are located only 140 km from Yakutsk (for those places this is a trifling distance). In their current form, they appeared 400 thousand years ago, as a result of the uplift of the Siberian platform, which made the river valleys deeper.
Some of the pillars reach a height of 150 meters. For geologists, the Lena Pillars are a real find: among these rocks many rare fossils of extinct animals are found, for example, a mammoth, a woolly rhinoceros, and a Lena horse.
10. Putorana Plateau
The Putorana Plateau is located in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The name translated from Evenki means “lakes with steep banks.” Its length is almost 500 km, and its area is 250 thousand km², which is comparable to the size of Great Britain. The closest city to the plateau, Norilsk, is located 300 km away.
The Putorana Plateau is a unique natural reserve. There are 25 thousand lakes and a lot of animals, which is not typical for these northern latitudes. Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
11. Curonian Spit
The Curonian Spit is an almost 100-kilometer narrow strip of land that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the rest of the Baltic Sea. And on it are dunes. The drifting dunes on the Curonian Spit are the highest in Europe (from 30 to 60 meters). Between 10 and 20 million birds fly over the coma every spring and fall. The Curonian Spit is also unique for its “dancing forests”. Since 2000, the Curonian Spit has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
12. Kungur Cave
The Kungur Ice Cave is one of the largest in the world and the only cave in Russia specially equipped for excursions. It is located in the Urals, between Perm and Yekaterinburg.
The age of the Kungur Ice Cave is almost 10-12 thousand years. The total length of the corridors is about 6000 meters, and the length of the tourist route is 1.5 km. The cave has 58 halls and about 70 lakes. Some grottoes reach 50-100 meters in length and 20 meters in height.
13. Lake Trinity
You cannot swim in Trinity Lake on the Maly Semyachik volcano - it has a very high concentration of sulfur and acid. This “water” can even corrode aluminum oar blades. This lake has a very bright color - bright green - due to the combination of hydrogen particles with acids.
Due to cracks at the bottom, the depth of Trinity Lake is constantly changing. The temperature also changes - from 20 to 60 degrees.
14. Uzon Caldera
The Uzon caldera in Kamchatka is a unique natural monument and object of biogeocenosis. There is a rich flora and fauna here, but the local lakes are especially impressive. One of them is filled with weak sulfuric acid, mercury and sulfur are released around the others. Minerals are formed literally before our eyes. The most interesting thing is that these lakes are also inhabited; bacteria that produce acid live in sulfuric lakes; archaea, one of the oldest forms of life, and thionic bacteria live in others.
15. Lake Elton
Elton is a drainless self-sedating lake in the Palla district of the Volgograd region, the largest salt lake in Europe with medicinal brine and mud. The largest mineral lake in Europe by area. Its mineralization is 1.5 times higher than in the Dead Sea. Due to the algae Dunaliella salina contained in the water, the color of the lake is reddish. Since the time of Ivan the Terrible, Elton has been used for salt extraction.
16. Zeygalan Waterfall
Zeygalan Waterfall in North Ossetia is the highest waterfall in Europe. Its height is more than 600 meters. Most Europeans, however, don’t even know about it and consider the Swiss Rheinfalls Falls to be the highest. Zeygalan, originates in one of the gorges at an altitude of 4000 meters. Geologists say that this unique natural circus, on the slopes of which waterfalls are born, is the crater of an ancient volcano.
17. Lake Proval
The unique and one-of-a-kind Lake Proval is located inside the Mashuk laccolith mountain in Pyatigorsk. The diameter of the cave in the form of a tapering funnel with a lake at the bottom is as much as 15 meters at its widest point, and its height is 41 meters.
Due to the sulfur and bacteria contained in the water, the water in the lake is bright turquoise. Its temperature ranges from 26 degrees above zero.
18. Rotten Mountain
Rotten Mountain is the largest mud volcano (vomit) in the Russian Caucasus. It is located near Temryuk. Of course, it can be called a mountain with some exaggeration. This plateau is more than a kilometer in diameter, and there are cones and vents on it.
Despite the not very appetizing name, the mud of the Rotten Mountain vomit is not only safe (their temperature is no more than 14 degrees), but also medicinal.
19. Crater lake Elgygytgyn
Elgygytgyn means “non-freezing.” This Chukotka lake is unique in that it has never frozen over in all 3 and a half million years of its history. Therefore, its bottom sediments are indispensable soil samples for scientists that can tell about geological history. In this regard, Elgygytgyn has no analogues in the world.
Last week, the world was shocked by the discovery of a legendary boiling river in the Peruvian Amazon jungle, in which you could literally be boiled alive. However, this is far from the only natural phenomenon whose beauty can leave you speechless, which we invite you to see by looking at our selection.
The illusion of an underwater waterfall off the coast of Mauritius.
At first glance, it may appear that a whirlpool has opened off the coast of a tropical island in the Indian Ocean, but in fact it is an optical illusion created by deposits of silt and sand on the seabed.
Sprites.
Airplane pilots are the only lucky ones who have the opportunity to observe this amazing natural phenomenon with their own eyes. Red flashes of light lasting a few milliseconds appear more than 80 kilometers above the Earth during a severe thunderstorm.
Methane bubbles on the Vermilion Lakes in Canada.
Thousands of methane bubbles frozen into the ice on the Vermilion Lakes in Banff National Park in Alberta look like mysterious inhabitants of the underwater depths.
Lake Natron in Tanzania.
Salt Lake Natron is located in the East African Rift Valley in Tanzania near the Kenyan border. Algae gives the water its red tint.
The Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
This natural monument, consisting of more than 40 thousand basalt columns formed as a result of a volcanic eruption tens of millions of years ago, looks like a movie set.
Eucalyptus rainbow.
Rainbow eucalyptus bark may have a green, orange or purple hue depending on the age of the tree.
Carpet of flowers in the Atacama Desert in Chile.
The Atacama is the driest desert in the world, but during the rainy season it is wonderfully transformed. Every 5-7 years, the lifeless desert is covered with a carpet of pink flowers.
Crab migration on Christmas Island, Australia.
The tiny island is home to more than 43 million red land crabs, which flock to the coast to spawn during the breeding season.
Great Blue Hole in Belize.
An underwater sinkhole with a diameter of more than 300 meters and a depth of 124 meters off the coast of Belize is a popular diving site.
Caño Cristales River in Colombia.
The river is called the “liquid rainbow” due to the abundance of colorful algae of the species macarenia clavigera, which is found only on the Macarena mountain range.
Lenticular clouds.
Lenticular clouds form over mountain ranges when there are strong winds and high humidity. This is a fairly common natural phenomenon, but at the same time it is difficult to notice due to the presence of other clouds.
“Door to the Underworld”, Turkmenistan.
Darvaza gas crater in Turkmenistan. Natural gas escaping from the crater has been burning continuously since 1971.

About 400 pine trees with mysteriously twisted trunks grow in a forest in northwestern Poland.
Zhangye Danxia National Geopark in Gansu Province, China.
What makes this landscape so colorful is the sandstone and mineral deposits that formed over 24 million years.
Spotted Lake Kliluk in British Columbia, Canada.
At first glance, it may seem that the multi-colored spots on the surface of the water are accumulations of algae, but in fact these are islands of minerals that are exposed when the lake becomes shallow in the summer due to water evaporation.
9 Let's move to the southwest coast of Australia. Here is the world famous group of rocks called The Twelve Apostles.
10 And this incredibly beautiful place is located in southern Africa in South Africa. Drakensberg Mountains, I think, looking at the photo it’s not difficult to understand where this name came from.
11 And again to Australia! Why not? After all, in real life it is difficult to make such leaps... Banda Rocks is the place that most closely resembles the real end of the world. Australia's Nullarbor Plain ends abruptly in southern Australia. Imagine what the first sailors who visited here thought.
12 Eleuthera is an island on the border between the shallow Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The island is 180 km long, and in some places the width reaches the one shown in the photo above.
13 Ogashima volcanic island in Japan. If you want to live inside a volcano, this is the place for you. Approximately 200 people permanently live here. People are quite happy with their situation and do not want to leave anywhere.
17 And this is China: here is such an unusual place as the Stone Forest. Yes, you heard right, although these places have another name – the Guilin Mountains.
The stone forest consists mainly of limestone, that is, roughly speaking, it is the bottom of an ancient sea, which over time rose to the surface. The weaker rocks failed and were washed away by erosion (water, wind, rain, etc.) and only these stone idols remained.
18 What could be special about a field? But even here nature manages to surprise and delight us! Emerald fields of the Palouse in the USA (Idaho, Washington and Oregon). These beautiful meadows are spread over dunes and hills, and look like an emerald sea. These dunes and hills were formed during the Ice Age, and when the ice disappeared, green meadows appeared in its place.
