Similar structures:

Although the basaltic columns are impressive, they are not unique. Basalt columns are a common volcanic feature, and they occur on many scales (faster cooling produces smaller columns).

Other notable sites include Svartifoss in Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland, Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, Fingal's Cave in Scotland, Titan's Piazza of the Mount Holyoke Range in Massachusetts, the Garni Gorge in Armenia, the Cyclopean Isles near Sicily, Sheepeater Cliff at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla in Huasca de Ocampo, Mexico, the Organ Pipes formation on Mount Cargill in New Zealand, Gilbert Hill in Mumbai, Organ Pipes National Park in Australia and the Column Cape (Russian: Mis Stolbchaty) on Kunashir Island, the southernmost of the Kuril Islands, Cerro Colorado and Mar Brava (Ancud) in Chile. Columnar basalt can also be seen in a high desert dry river falls area just north of Lajitas, Texas.

I knew that it was common, but Devil's Postpile is the only place I have seen it. What struck me was this photo taken from the top looking down with the surface polished by a glacier. It doesn't hurt that it is located withing a few miles of my favorite ski resort (Mammoth Mountian) and my favorite backpacking trailhead (Agnew Meadows).

Yup, just see the canal cruise tour sign at Rondvaart Koou dock in the distance. Although I was clueless as the image was sent to me...

It's right here. Searching for this location reminds me of how much I love Amsterdam. Can't wait to visit again.
