Brian's excellent shots of the Pinnacles reminded me of similar formations in Egypt's White Desert, west of Cairo, so called because it is a vast limestone bed which has been heavily eroded over the millennia. Difference here is that the erosion has left many of the formations top-heavy, as in the second shot. Some of them are as much as 10 metres high, others so small you can step over them.

Like Brian, I would love to go back and spend more time in varying light conditions to do the area justice.
