wow take a gander at these structures, I'm assuming these are natural , BUT wowWeee , I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, assuming these formations are natural . I'm thinking sedimentary rock sculpted by erosion.

I know nothing on these, so would love to hear from someone who has researched them.
They look eroded not built. Much like Cappadoccia area in Turkey.

Very diiferent rock, but anyway. Please don't laugh at the first image: I call it Rock Knob. These are NOT photoshopped!

Geology produces some really great things. World's a beautiful place.

wow Im amazed
Looks like natural to me, eroded by wind. Its very strange scenario.
I don't thing it was a construction of some sort, don't have any perfect linear or round shapes, its all random design made by nature.

thanks for the find.

with the right series of geological events mind boggling structures can be formed over eons . Absolutely incredible , and as big as these structures are they are tiny compared to what are found in around the Grand canyon .
