Alcantara Gorge 8, 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 large, imposing rock formation with distinctive columnar jointing, characteristic of volcanic activity. The rock face is composed of numerous hexagonal and polygonal columns, creating a textured and layered appearance. The columns vary in size and orientation, with some appearing more rounded and others more angular. The rock surface is predominantly gray, with some areas showing darker patches, possibly due to moisture or mineral deposits.
At the base of the rock formation, a group of people is visible, suggesting the site is accessible to visitors. The individuals are dressed in casual, summery clothing, indicating a warm climate. Some are standing, while others are sitting or walking, with one person holding a child. The surrounding area is lush with greenery, including trees and shrubs, which contrast with the rocky terrain.
The sky is partially visible, suggesting a bright day, and the overall scene conveys a sense of natural beauty and geological interest.
