New 7 Wonders of Nature - Vote for Djavolja Varos!
The
Djavolja Varos natural landmark is situatod on the south slopes
of Mt. Radan, on the right bank of the žuta reka (Yellow river), in
the central part of southern Serbia. Djavolja Varos is a unique
example of the action of erosion. It is a complex of stone pyramids
located in the watershed between Djavolja Jaruga and Paklena Jaruga
(Devil's Gully and Hellts Gully). On an area of 4,300 sq.m. water
erosion has shaped andesite material and volcanic tufa into over 200
pyramids - towers standing from 2-15 m tall, width at base 4 to 6 m
and at the summit 1-2 m. Most of these pyramids have caps or heads -
andesite blocks protecting them from fast decey. Read more about

June 2009 - Blooming of Tisa river
The Tisa Mayfly
(Palingenia longicauda) is the largest mayfly species in Europe, males
measuring up to 12 cm (5 inches) from head to tail. Typically,
all Tisa Mayflies mature at once, and for about a week in mid June, they
will be everywhere after 5.00-6.00 PM, dancing over the river in large
groups, molting on trees or on the ground, or resting on every available
surface, including onlookers. This natural phenomenon with varied
intensity is called Tisa blooming. Once they fully mature (after
their second molting into a winged state), males have only a few hours
to find females and mate before both sexes die. Squadrons of mature
males will skim over the river's surface, seeking females.
