Mighty Rock: The movement of the earth's crust may carry the rock as much as 700km (454 miles) below the surface. Here the temperature and pressure will be even higher and the rock will begin to melt. Molten rock is lighter than solid rock and it will begin to rise up through the overlying rock towards the surface. If it reaches the surface as a lava flow it will immediately be ready for weathering and erosion and the start of a new cycle. More often the molten rock solidifies underground and then all the rock above it must be eroded away before it can begin the cycle again.French scenery is of infinite variety and charm, ranging from the blue or green allurements of littoral and meadow to the black and white immensities of rock pinnacles and snow peaks. As a personal note of thorough unimportance I may say that six dazzling scenes, of the sort that batter sensations to a pulp, have risen to top rank in my experience, as my own Big Six from all the scenes I know in the world. They are the field marshals of a private army that is my pride and delight. Two of them are in France, the perpendicular upview from Chamonix to Mont Blanc, with the added drama of those raw needles of rock (Les Aiguilles) that pierce the upper sky, and the prospect of the mighty Pyrenean Cirque de Gavarnie, with thirteen waterfalls plunging from its monumental rim. (The other four, since I must name names, are Merok in Norway, Miirren in Switzerland, Collalbo in the Dolomites and the ensemble of Rio.)
Luxembourg City is a place of extraordinary interest and I cannot exaggerate the dramatic effects of its setting. As you cross the main bridge, Pont Adolphe, which is one of the world's largest bridges of hewn stone, from the newer portion centered by avenue de la Liberte to the old historic city rising from its mighty rock, you are almost made dizzy by the immense depth of the ravine carved by the little Petrusse. |
