The Marble Castle
Lately I experiences the very special natural marble formation in the Rana region. This region is rich of limestone and marble. When standing close to the strong river I could imagine how the water gradually could wash out the softer limestone and shaped the hard marble. A lot of amazing forms and potholes are «created»…
