China: Rare ‘Buddha’s Light’ Halo Seen on Sichuan Mountain

This breathtaking moment captures a rare “Buddha’s Light” phenomenon encircling a hiker’s head on a mountaintop trail. On June 5, 2025, while hiking Jiuding Mountain in Sichuan, a man recorded a vivid, rainbow-colored halo — known as a “Buddha’s Light” or Brocken Spectre — forming around his head in the misty air. The optical illusion followed him for several meters, creating a surreal, almost mystical scene as he walked through the fog. According to the hiker, Mr. He, the phenomenon appeared not only around his own head but also around those of other nearby hikers, lasting for about 30 seconds. The video ends with the glowing halo slowly fading as the group continued along the mist-covered trail."

China: Cloud Fall Cascades Over Nanchuan’s Jinfo Mountain

This is the stunning moment that a mesmerizing waterfall cascaded down the eastern slope of Jinfo Mountain, leaving viewers in awe with its “cloud fall”-like appearance. On May 10, 2025, in Nanchuan District, Chongqing, the video showed thick white clouds dramatically tumbling down the mountain slope like a massive waterfall. The breathtaking spectacle occurred at the eastern foothills of Jinfo Mountain, a region that is known for its unique topography, which contributed to the formation of such rare natural phenomena. In the video, the clouds poured over the ridge in powerful streams, creating the illusion of liquid mist plunging from the peak. According to local meteorological explanations, the “cloud fall” was formed due to a specific combination of warm and cool airflows along the mountain slope. When temperatures rose on one side of the mountain, clouds were pushed by the wind toward the cooler side, creating a “cloud fall”. The video ended with the rolling clouds continuing their dramatic descent, blanketing the forested slopes below in a sea of mist.

FRANCE. ALSACE. BAS RHIN (67) HAUT KOENIGSBOURG CASTLE. OVERLOOKING THE PLAIN, THIS IS THE BEST-KNOWN FORTIFIED CASTLE IN ALSACE AND ONE OF THE REGION'S MOST VISITED MONUMENTS. DATING BACK TO THE 12TH CENTURY, THE BUILDING UNDERWENT MAJOR ALTERATIONS IN THE 15TH CENTURY AND WAS COMPLETELY RESTORED AT THE REQUEST OF EMPEROR WILHELM II FROM 1900 ONWARDS. IN THE MIDDLE AGES, THE HIGHEST POINT ON WHICH THE CASTLE STANDS WAS USED TO KEEP WATCH OVER ALL THE WINE, WHEAT AND SALT ROUTES CROSSING ALSACE. A 270 M LONG FORTRESS PERCHED ALMOST 800 M HIGH, IT IS NEITHER A MIRAGE NOR A ?GRANDE ILLUSION?, TO REFER TO THE FILM SHOT BY JEAN RENOIR IN 1937, BUT A MONUMENT THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED.

Sarkozy Slammed For Call To Compromise With Russia

File photo dated June 7, 2007 shows Russian President Vladimir Putin talks on the phone as French President Nicolas Sarkozy waves on their way to a meeting during the first day of talks with other leaders of G8 industrialized nations summit at Heiligendamm, Germany. France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy has stirred outrage in Kyiv and Paris by suggesting Russia's invasion of Ukraine could be ended with new referendums in occupied territories. "The Ukrainians... will want to reconquer what has been unjustly taken from them. But if they can't manage it completely, the choice will be between a frozen conflict... or taking the high road out with referendums strictly overseen by the international community," Sarkozy told conservative newspaper Le Figaro on Wednesday. Speaking particularly about the Crimean peninsula, which Russia claimed to have annexed in 2014, the former French leader said that "any return to the way things were before is an illusion".
