At the speed of geology

........and we could all be gone in the merest blink of geology's eye.

Beautiful light

[Elytra]

Gorgeous lighting and textures

[Taffy]

Great title for this scene!

[Maggiemae]

Very sharp shadows emphasise the structure of the rocks!

[AmyJ]

Love the title and photo!

Sometimes I feel we are living in the same place

[Domenico Dodaro]

So crisp and effective... Love the combination of picture and caption

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

@domenicododaro i watched a documentary about the giants of sardinia last night, lots of rocks!!

[kali]

@adayinmallacoota :) perhaps it was once!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 sooner or later I'll start posting some pictures of them. Perhaps in the documentary the spoke about Monte Pulchiana?

[Helen Jane]

Your title really gets me thinking about the rocks and their formation. Well done.

@domenicododaro it was this one, i want to know more!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-RL-BxO7Xk

Actually, I referred to this giant of rock: It is a monolithic pyroclastic bubble high over 550 m above sea level. Sardinia has lots of mysteries: some say the myth of Hercules derives from a Phoenician/Sardinian worship of the god Milkart; some say that Sardinia was the real Atlantis, as the Pillars of Hercules, at the time of philosopher Platon (who for the first wrote of Atlantis) were between Sicily and Lybia, and the Ocean - where Atlantis and its cities with silver-clad roads existed - was the Tyrrhenian Sea...

@domenicododaro oh haha that is a beautiful mountain for sure. Myths are all based on some fact dont you know! please go fossicking for giant artifacts...Sardinia sounds like a great place and actually rather larger than i imagined by that footage.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@kali66 Hmmm. I confess I needed to look for the meaning of "fossicking" in a dictionary... Now I know a new word (chiefly Australian and New Zealand, says the Merriam-Webster online). A couple of the giant tombs in the documentary are on the way from port/airport to my place: next time I'll go there I'll take some pictures and send you first hand!

The speed of geology - how cleverly thought of!! :)
