 Water Eruption

   July 25, 2022

    Eruzione d'acqua 2

   Photographer:  Emanuele Nifosì

   Summary Author:  Emanuele Nifosì

   Near the village of  Sampieri, Italy, there is an approximately
   three foot or one-meter diameter natural well along the cliff that
   connects to the sea through a canal. This opening is the result of
    natural erosion that happened over the past centuries and consists
   of two main segments- the first part is on the surface while the other
   section is underground. Depending on the  meteorological and marine
   conditions, which on the day of these photos included wind from the
   south-east with gusts of 25-30 miles per hour (40-50 kilometers per
   hour) and rough sea, the water column reaches this opening and explodes
   upwards to over six and a half feet or two meters in height. Photo
   taken on April 2, 2022.
