I fancy fossils, rocks, minerals, science, living in museums, RMS Titanic, scores, classical music, Doctor Who, and a lot of Dr. Alan Grant.

This is Pilot Mountain in North Carolina. This is a perfect example of how different minerals weather at different rates. The section sticking out at the very top is made up of quartzite, which is much more durable - and thus weathers slowly - than the other minerals that make up the surrounding rock below.
