These 7 stone pillars are located in the Komi Republic, an autonomous region in Russia west of the Ural Mountains. Created some 200-300 million years ago, the pillars are the result of wind and erosion during the last ice age. Note scale to humans on top photo.
Reminds me of the illustrations of Malacandra (Mars, in C. S. Lewis's sci-fi novel). He portrayed both mountains and sea waves as tall and skinny, because of the reduced gravity.
