Saw this amazing image on Bing's homepage for China. Learned that it's the Danxia landform in Gansu Zhangye, China, which was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2010. A Google image search on Danxia landform results in some wildly colorful images of the region. Some look artificially color enhanced, excessively saturated, but even the more natural-looking images are still stunning. It looks as if someone has mashed up a very colorful layer cake!
