Pyramids of Euseigne I Photo

Photographer’s Note

The first of three photos of the rock pyramides in Euseigne, Sion, Valais.

A particular natural phenomenon is found to the south of Sion, the capital of canton Valais, in the Val d´Herens and Val d´Heremence. The mountain spurs feature earth pyramids, moraines of loose stones which have been gradually eroded by rain. Where a large sheltering boulder caps the stones, they remain standing. A road tunnel goes through the pyramides.

I've been to Sion some time ago, but unfortunately did not see these rock pyramides. They provide a very strange sight with these boulders on top of the standing columns. I associate these kinds of rock formations more with national parks in the USA than with European nature: their presence surprises me! I'm looking forward to seeing your other two pictures.
