 Limestone Stratification near Modica, Sicily

   September 20, 2022

    Rocce sedimentarie 35mm

   Photographer:  Emanuele Nifosì
   Summary Author:  Emanuele Nifosì

   Along the " Fiumara" (provincial road SP 54), a road that I travel
   every morning on my way to school, the rocky spur featured above has
   long fascinated me. It follows a bend in a stream near the  Baroque
   town of Modica (Ragusa, Sicily, Italy). This spur, part of the
    Hyblaean Range, is composed of  white limestone strata. When
   facing the Sun, it's visible from miles away. Photo taken on April 11,
   2022 (at 16:30 local time).

   Photo details: Nikon D700 camera; 48mm; ISO 200; f/8; 1/400 second
   exposure.
