Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria

Aerial view of clay surface divided between shadow and light, two textures in contrast: parallel striations on the left, polygonal cracking on the right. Two small stones at the boundary. Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria.
Close-up of eroded clay surface with parallel striations converging toward a circular depression at the center. Small organic debris inside the hollow. Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria.
Raking light on a stone surface revealing a carved spiral mark. The incision reads ambiguously between human sign and natural erosion. Calanchi di Palizzi, Calabria.
