Postcard from Italy

Sicily -223-foot deep lava canyon – a narrow, scenically spectacular gorge carved out of the rock by a fast-flowing stream.Extremely intense geological and geothermal events have determined the structure of today’s basalt layers. It seems that in prehistoric times, a river flowed over clay sediments; then huge volcanic eruptions channelled fluid magma into the river bed, which sank in the more clayey sections, creating the current basalt colonnades. 

Postcard from Crimea

Sail Rock (Parus Rock) is a natural sandstone monolith on the Black Sea coast near Gaspra, in the Republic of Crimea. 
Sail Rock is a flat, narrow rock
formation resembling a ship’s sail, rising vertically from the sea.
