1. Kimberley Big Hole - South Africa

Apparently the largest ever hand-dug excavation in the world,

this 1097-meter-deep mine yielded over three tons of diamonds

before being closed.

2. Glory Hole - Monticello Dam, California

This is the Glory Hole at Monticello Dam, and it's the largest

in the world of this type of spillway, its size enabling it to

consume 14,400 cubic feet of water every second.

A glory hole is used when a dam is at full capacity and

water needs to be drained from the reservoir.

3 Great Blue Hole , Belize

This incredible geographical phenomenon known as a blue hole

is situated 60 miles off the mainland of Belize .

There are numerous blue holes around the world but

none as stunning as this one.

4 Sinkhole in Guatemala

This photo is of a sinkhole that occurred February 2007

in Guatemala . It swallowed two dozen homes and killed at least

three people.

5. This is the famous Rat Hole.

It is capable of swallowing Millions of Tax Payers Money

annually, never to be heard from again! It is reputed

to contain at least 600 ass"holes".

This is completely bizarre - but do you know your photo is inverted, or back-to-front?

When photographing the Houses of Parliament from the River Thames, Big Ben is always on the right hand side, not the left.

:wah:
