Comment

Les Demoiselles Coiffées de Pontis is a rock formation located at Pontis, near Embrun in the French Alps, on the shores of Lac de Serre-Ponçon. The formation consists of a number of hoodoos, described as a "set of narrowly tapering rock columns... topped by a large, well-balanced boulder on the point. [1] In French, such structures are called Demoiselles Coiffées ("ladies with hats"). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoiselles_Coiff%C3%A9es_de_Pontis
