Jacob's Well in Wimberley, Texas is one of the most dangerous places to dive on Earth, having claimed the lives of more than eight divers. This stunning natural swimming spot was captured by amateur photographer Carl Griffin, 56. ”Jacob's Well is a perpetual artesian spring that feeds Cypress Creek,” says Griffin, of Spring Branch, Texas.
