Excursion: Pyramides d'Euseigne in Valais
The pyramides d'Euseigne in Val d'Herens in Valais. The dark rocks atop the spikes are composed of some (relatively) erosion-resistant material which has shielded the softer material below from rain leading to this strange sight (map). The road actually goes under an archway formed by this stuff, click here to go to a photo of the formation and the road that was not taken by me. Edit (20071111): the link I had provided before now goes to a different image, sorry!

That's fun..good old "Nature"
A very interesting photograph of a natural event. I like it and also your narrative.
Thanks for visiting. I also just sent the photos to you of the Lily of the Valley. It is 3:40 PM here in Ohio on the 3rd.
Amazing. Looks like they're gonna crumble any minute but these structures have probably been there for some time.
...beautiful scenery with an interesting natural phenomena...
Rather like the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon
Thanks for the comments, all of you. Anonymous, thanks for the info -- I find that they also look like the formation along Lake Ontario called the Chimney Bluffs. Link to a friend's website with photos: http://tinyurl.com/yokyjr
