Summary Author: Kevin Saragozza
Shown above at center is the picturesque Capo Murro di Porco Lighthouse on the Maddalena Peninsula of Sicily, Italy. The steep cliffs of this peninsula, which formed from a tectonic fault feature known as a horst, drop abruptly (175 ft or 54 m) to the sea. Exposed rocks are generally calcareous (limestone).
Overhead, mid-level altocumulus clouds spread across the western sky. As shown here, they’re illuminated from below by the grazing light of the setting Sun. Photo taken on November 8, 2020.
