Good morning, everyone!
Yesterday it was raining but today it's hot and shiny. Obviously, my plans of staying inside got canceled by the weather. I'll take the chance to go outside and enjoy the sun.
Before I go out, I'll leave you with something odd and beautiful at the same time...
In the Island of Pico, in Azores, a lot of the rock formations were created after volcano eruptions. This kind of rock is called Volcanic Rock because it was formed from hot lava. After lava cools off, the resulting formations are sometimes fascinating.
What you see here is a well known tourist attraction and it's a rock that the locals named "O Cachorro" which means "The Dog". I believe no explanation is necessary. Right?
All these rocks are incredible and cool, specially when you think that they were molten lava, inside a volcano, a few centuries ago... but this dog, with such a perfectly shaped muzzle, eyes and ears is really fascinating!!! It almost looks like a man made sculpture. 🙃
But no, it's just Mother Nature showing off her skills.
I hope you enjoyed this... and think about visiting the Islands of Azores someday. You won't regret it.

Mother nature is a great sculptor and architect
Wow.. this is looks like a cow from distance and exactly The Dog.
Very lucky this was not in India. I'm sure people here would have built a temple together build up a religious story 😉

Ahahahah! I believe you. In this place, people took the chance to build a small liquor shop, with liquors produced locally. But beware, if you drink too many of those liquors, you'll start seeing Pink Elephants, instead of Dogs in the Rocks! 😂
Que perfeição, a natureza sempre nos dá surpresa!
É mesmo. Obrigado pela atenção!
Ooohh! The place is beautiful and it really looks like a dog there 😊 I love the sea 🏝️

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you liked it.
Mother Nature rocks maybe we should buy her a present too tomorrow!
Hehehe. Nice idea. 😊
It does look weird and great at the same time :)
Thanks for appreciating it. 😉
A truly curious natural sculpture, apart from an extremely warm landscape in sight! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your comment, @joaquinhd. ☺️
@trincowski,wooooow.....What a beautiful and relaxing sea.
Thanks, Marya. These Islands are the closest to paradise I've ever been to! 😃
Good morning! Azores are far away, thanks to show us the beauty. Every were is the sea is wonderful.
I see... But it's definitely worth a look. 😎
Thanks for your visit.
With pleasure! I'm sure it worth... but Greece is much closer to Romania and it satisfies my desire for the sea and the islands.
The dog is very cool indeed and these rocks are painful as hell! lol
Thank You for sharing @trincowski.
Yes, you can get hurt if you're not careful. Thanks for your visit, @lady-idra!
God made a nice tourist attraction. LOL
Well, I am not a believer so I just say it was Mother Nature! 😝
