Whatzit?

Bradford Pear? Daylight shot looks like the ornamental pears the township planted to line the cutover from Sheldon to Canton Center Roads. Beautiful white flowers.

My town banned Bradford pears from lining roadways. They need to be planted 100 or more feet from the curb. When it gets windy out. These are the first trees to split and fall.

OK, no sense of scale. Is that columnar basalt instead of "striated" rock from water, glacial, or diastrophic forces (slickensides)?

And they burn really, really nice in the fireplace!

Oh, you'd be wanting more hints then and that?

Some communities that are fed up with the cleanup after a serious ice or wind storm are offering bounties on the removal of these trees. You can get a different ornamental for each one you remove (they also point out that they do make good firewood).

I was hoping this was a drone shot of a palisades. Now I will have to look for drone footage for a caldera. I'm going to pull up devils tower on Google earth and see what it looks like from the air.

Devils tower is solid neck, no caldera. This is on earth?

When they all were taken down next neighborhood over, I went and collected the wood!

Old RR roadbed that is now a trail?

Tried searching for columnar basalt arches and this looks promising:

Nope!

Disko Island, Greenland.

Interesting, very interesting, but wrong.

Is this the whatzit?

It sure looks like a fossilized dinosaur sealed in-place as it began emerging from somewhere-or-other.
