Alcantara Gorge 9, Francavilla di Sicilia, Sicily, ItalySeveral thousand years ago, the river bed was blocked by a lava flow from Mount Etna. As the lava was cooled much more quickly by the water than it would have done otherwise, it crystallised in the form of columns. Over the next millennia, the river naturally eroded a channel through these columns, resulting in impressive gorges and ravines, such as the Alcantara Gorges (Gole dell'Alcantara) next to Francavilla di Sicilia, where the Peloritani mountains end. – Wikipedia

Als Antwort auf Douglas E. Welch • • •The image depicts a rocky cliff face with distinct columnar jointing, a geological feature where the rock has fractured into polygonal columns. The cliff is covered with various green plants and trees, indicating a natural, possibly forested environment. The rock's surface is rugged, with visible layers and textures, suggesting erosion and weathering over time. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible, adding to the natural setting. The vegetation includes shrubs and trees, with some foliage appearing dense and lush, while others are more sparse. The overall scene is a blend of natural elements, showcasing the interplay between geological formations and plant life.
