If you need a bit of escapism, check out these fascinating flicks.

As the middle of the work week approaches, so does the potential for burnout if you don't take care of yourself properly. That means eating right, getting enough sleep, and all the rest, but it also means knowing when to take a break. If you feel like you need to take a break, why not do so by taking a look at these 36 fun and phenomenal photos? These pics cover a wide variety of spectacles, from fun little happenings to scenic and formidable nature landscapes. 

Cool mountain photos make up a few entries in this gallery, with Mount Fuji the tallest, but possibly least interesting of the bunch. While visually striking, its defining feature is its height. The Mexican mountain of Iztaccíhuatl, however, extends up beyond the backdrop of Mexico City, for a truly remarkable visual contrast. The Mauna Kea volcano also holds two interesting records; one for biggest volcano on Earth, and the other for tallest mountain base to peak. Its base sits well below sea level.

Some funny signs, cool ships, and even a plane pic complete this eclectic gallery of random yet fascinating photos. So lean back, and enjoy your well-deserved break of phenomenal photos.
