How it's used
Often used to describe natural phenomena that are rare or visually striking, such as unusual cloud formations or rare geological features. While it can refer to man-made structures, it carries a sense of awe that implies the sight is not something one encounters every day. It is frequently used in a slightly hyperbolic way to emphasize how impressive a view is.
