Roche qui Tourne
Roche qui Tourne submitted by binardino : "la roche qui tourne" of Lardy town (and not Panserot town ?) is a crazy megalith, probably one of the most impresive ever seen! This crazy "turning rock" looks like a dragon or a snake head! (Vote or comment on this photo)
Bizarre reptile like "turning rock"
