Comments
Mother nature never ceases to surprise. Thought you might enjoy a photo of this natural in a wind-loaded area of the Avenues foothills directly west of the Terrace Hills cul-de-sac. Who'd have thought? The power of sun. This was a late day tour after work so numbers above are eyeball estimates. This did not appear to be human triggered.
