Rock-Rap

At first glance at the photo below comes the idea that this is the result of work in photoshop. But really — this is a real island, a natural wonder on the U.S. lake Huron.

Near the American town of Port Austin, Michigan is an unusual attraction — a tiny rocky island, which the locals called Turnip Rock — Rock-Rap. This unusual rock has gained its mushroom-like shape due to prolonged erosion. Over time, this piece of cliff separated from the plateau and turned into an island. Today you can get on it is difficult because it is private property. But some intrepid explorers reach the goal with the boat.
