Alcantara Gorge 13, Francavilla di Sicilia, Sicily, Italy
Several 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 gorge with a river flowing through it. The gorge is formed by dark, layered rock with a rough texture, showcasing a mix of gray and black hues. The river, visible at the bottom of the gorge, has a turquoise color, indicating clear water. The surrounding area is covered with green vegetation, including bushes and trees, which contrast with the rocky terrain. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible. The scene is illuminated by natural light, highlighting the ruggedness of the rocks and the vibrant greenery.
