Alcantara Gorge 12, 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

The image depicts a rugged, rocky landscape with a prominent gorge. The foreground features a large, smooth rock with a rough texture, surrounded by smaller rocks and sparse vegetation, including a bush with pink flowers. The middle ground showcases the gorge, with steep, columnar rock formations that are dark gray and vertically striated, suggesting volcanic activity. The gorge appears to be a natural water channel, with a visible stream or waterfall at the bottom, partially obscured by the rock walls. The background is filled with dense greenery, including trees and shrubs, with some foliage showing autumnal colors. The lighting suggests a sunny day, with shadows cast by the rock formations, enhancing the depth and texture of the scene.
