      Along the " Fiumara" (provincial road SP 54), a road that I travel   
      every morning on my way to school, the rocky spur featured above has   
      long fascinated me. It follows a bend in a stream near the  Baroque   
      town of Modica (Ragusa, Sicily, Italy). This spur, part of the   
       Hyblaean Range, is composed of  white limestone strata. When   
      facing the Sun, it's visible from miles away. Photo taken on April 11,   
      2022 (at 16:30 local time).   
      
      Photo details: Nikon D700 camera; 48mm; ISO 200; f/8; 1/400 second   
      exposure.
