Quartz Stone Pillars at Zhangjiagie 張家界 石船出海 西海峰林

This image is included in 4 galleries 1) "INTERPHOTO * TOP FLICKR" curated by Marzetti Gianfranco, 2) "God's Nature" by Suvad Hamzić, 3) "Landscape" by frode_oen and 4) "terrestrial space-time continuum" by Mike Beauregard.

 

This landscape belongs to the sandstone peak forest landform in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China. Crustal uplift changed the sedimentary rock stratum into a hilly and mountainous area, then the sandstone was carved by exogenic processes like weathering and erosion into rugged rock pillars.

 

西海峰林, 位於索溪峪景區的西部。為一盆地型峽谷峰林群,千姿百態,林木蔥蘢茂密,有“峰海”、“林海”之稱。春夏或秋初雨後初晴,則云如浪濤,或湧或翻,或奔或瀉,鋪天蓋地,極為壯觀,譽為“雲海”。三“海”合一即為西海之特色。
