The Fiftieth and Final Wonder: AURORA BOREALIS

If there is anything more mysteriously magnificent in the world than the Aurora Borealis, we haven't discovered it yet. 

With this final handmade design, this wraps up my year-long challenge!! So proud to look back at all the work I've done, the focus I've found, and the fact that I actually stuck it out and completed my goal! What's next?

Thanks so much for joining in on my adventure!

Stay tuned for Branding Wonders updates, and keep your eyes peeled for some Branding Wonders handmade prints... Coming soon!

The Forty-Fifth Wonder: Victoria Falls

Number one of two waterfalls on this list. Otherwise known as "The Smoke that Thunders", this waterfall straddles the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Forty-Fourth Wonder: Lake Baikal

Russia's enorm-itanically giganti-large lake is over 5,000 feet deep and holds 20% of the world's fresh water. More water than all five Great Lakes combined. Gotdamn!

The Forty-Third Wonder: Amazon

OK, this place may be scarier than the deep ocean. No, but it is a jungle in there. Things will get hairy.

The Forty-Second Wonder: Mount Everest

Tallest mountain in the world. Sherpas. People freezing to death. ¡Dios mio!

[brandingwonders]

The Forty-First Wonder: Rock of Gibraltar

A massive mountain in the sea with a labyrinth of tunnels dug out through it. Prettttyyyy cool!

[brandingwonders]

The Fortieth Wonder: Deep Sea Vents

Nothing is more scary than the deep sea. There are all sorts of terrible things that lie beneath the deep. These are cool though.

The Thirty-Ninth Wonder: Grand Canyon

Two hundred and seventy-seven miles long, eighteen miles across, a mile deep, two billion years in the making, and ALL American. YEE-HAW!

[brandingwonders]

The Thirty-Eighth Wonder: Serengeti

The Serengeti Plains have one of the largest, most diverse large mammal population in the world, with over 70 species! Plus all the other wildlife! Planet Earth is my favorite tv show, so I'm no stranger to the coolness of the Serengeti. Rawr.

The Thirty-Seventh Wonder: Loch Ness

NESSIE!!!!!! Don't you just hope upon hope that the Loch Ness Monster is real? Oh it would rule.

[brandingwonders]

The Thirty-Sixth Wonder: Galapagos Islands!

The birthplace of the theory of evolution. ‘Nuff said.

The Thirty-Fifth Wonder: Beijing National Stadium

Built in 2008 for the Summer Olympics, this place definitely looks dope, and it also marks the end of the manmade wonders list! Also notably this is section two of the first mega post! Up next: Natural Wonders!!

The Thirty-Fourth Wonder: Millau Viaduct

A mile-and-a-half long bridge that stands 1100 feet tall. Making it easy for the French to take vacation. What a wonder! Also this happens to be part one, section one of a two part, three-section-mega-post-catch-up! Lucky you!
