Plessa earth pyramids

Highlight • Natural

The sand is compacted and contains small pieces of coal throughout. It's a bizarre setting, almost like a lunar landscape. These formations also remind me of a canyon.

Overburden dumps or sand dunes near Plessa. It's amazing that they are still so well preserved.
