A rare double waterspout formed over the Italian island of Capri on Saturday, stretching across its iconic Faraglioni rock formations.

The two swirling columns emerged from heavy clouds hovering over the island, creating a striking natural spectacle.

Waterspouts are relatively common over the Mediterranean in late summer and autumn, when cooler air moves over warmer waters.

Capri is one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations, attracting an estimated three million visitors each year. The Faraglioni rock formations are among the island's best-known attractions, although many tourism businesses close during the winter months, leaving the island largely to its residents.
