Whoa. I wouldn't stand so close to take a photo! 😨
@tom30519 @65dBnoise disclaimer: not my photo, this one's direct from wikipedia. I haven't been to the place myself, Cuenca's a bit off; but someone brought us a souvenir when I was a kid, and this shape's welded in my brain and my immediate association when watching the gif 😉

Ciudad Encantada. What a place! These things appear as if they grew out of the ground there. Which, in a way, they did.
