Landscape: mystery landmark

Challenge #12 in the Nature and Culture series. Hosted by AndrePooh.

Challenge has finished

Landscape: show us an artistic picture of an impressive but rather unknown landmark, a castle, mountain or a rock. You lose (virtual) points hypothetically -not really-, if somebody recognises your landmark, So, No Taj Mahal, Eifel Tower or golden gates bridges. Viewers are encouraged to try and identify the landmark. See addional rules. There are two additional prices of eternal fame, for the best and most impressive landmark that remained unknown and for anyone recognising the most landmarks. For ideas see: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=270543
