The 12 Apostles

One of the most impressive and anticipated views of the Great Ocean Road is that of the towering rock formations of The 12 Apostles set against 70 metre cliffs. From sunrise to dusk the changing light enhances the beauty of this awe inspiring vista. I visited the sight several times to try to capture the different moods. A huge highlight for me was seeing the stacks from the air in a tiny helicopter.












My hero, David Attenborough, discusses the formation of The 12 Apostles in this short video segment. Worth watching...

The world is more beautiful and interesting through the Attenborough's lens, or Graeme's lens. Look the fifth picture. Looks like God turned on the light above the sea. So beautiful...

Another thing we have in common - we both adore David Attenborough (possibly a few others do too come to think of it!). These shots are magical! Thank you!

You must have sat there for hours, capturing all the different moods from the light at different times of the day. x

Just had a look at your photos on your blog and they are absolutely STUNNING!!! brought back happy memories of when i was there in 2000 with on old school friend, Jules (who now lives in Bath) not sure if you met her or not? Anyway we were not so lucky to go on a helicopter flight - definitely gives you a much better appreciation of the beauty of the Great Ocean Road :)
