Richat Structure
The Richat Structure is a geographic landmark in the Sahara desert (Mauritania) that resembles a “bulls-eye” with a diameter of ~50 km. It is popularly referred to as “The Eye of Africa”.
The formation of this structure initially was attributed to a meteorite impact due to its resemblance to a crater.
Geologists now theorize that the structure is a result of different types of rocks being eroded at different rates of erosion.
This theory "holds water" as igneous rocks within the structure are more resistant to erosion than the host sedimentary rocks.
The age of sedimentary rocks that surround Richat range in age from Late Proterozoic (2.5 billion years) to Ordovician (480 million years).

You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.

You say you love wind, but when its comes you close your window.
So that's why I'm scared, when you say you love me.
