Triangular Pit

These rocks, near the Black Lake on the Thungabhadra River in south India, is in one of the oldest geological regions of the earth.

 

Four billion years ago, the molten pre-Cambrian earth solidified and became granite rock. It has been slowly moulded by the river ever since, to form strange and beautiful sculptures.
