Basaltic rock columns

In Santa Maria Regla, near Huasca -one of the "Magic Towns" of México- in the State of Hidalgo.
This magma cooled so fast in the surface of earth that the contraction formed geometric columns.
The shape of the rocks was dictated by the molecule's geometric array and their cohesion.
A wonderful natural fountain.
