$Skinner Butte Columns is a small, well-established rock climbing area in a downtown city park in Eugene, Oregon, USA. The rock is columnar basalt formed in a slow-cooling magma intrusion, resulting in relatively uniform polygons and rock of high density and excellent quality. The cliff was mined in the early 1900s, but the more fractured, unstable face resulting from mining operations has been blanketed with chainlink fence to prevent climbing on the unstable rock.$

$Sunset silhouette of the Horns, Drakensberg, South Africa. Crepuscular rays (God beams) diffracting at the neck between Inner Horn 3005m / 9858ft (left) and Outer Horn 3006m / 9860ft (right). The saw-tooth profile of tiny peaks to the left is a group called The Chessmen. Inner Horn was first climbed in 1925; Outer Horn in 1934. The names are believed to have been derived from the Zulu name for nearby Cathedral Peak. However, under some lighting conditions, as seen here, the gap between the Horns resembles antlers or deer horns. One of the last free ranges of the San people or Bushmen, the Drakensberg is steeped in San folk lore. Nikon F100, 70-300/4-5.6D, Kodak E100VS.$
