Description

Ille-sur-Tet, Pyrénées-orientales, France A long time ago, the soil was composed of sand agglomerated with clay and the whole was covered with a harder layer. Rainfall erosion created this landscape of organs, chimneys or sand columns. The tops are often still covered by the hardest layer that protects them. The erosion continues its work still now, and one day there will be only a pile of sand ... Il y a longtemps, le sol était composé de sable aggloméré avec de l'argile et l'ensemble était recouvert d'une couche plus dure. L'érosion par les pluies a créé ce paysage d'orgues, de cheminées ou de colonnes de sable. Les sommets sont souvent couverts par la couche plus dure qui les protège. L'érosion continue son travail encore maintenant, et un jour il n'y aura qu'un tas de sable ... Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200
