And finally we reach the things that we came to see. I have to confess some disappointment. Not with the Apostles themselves which are indeed an awe inspiring sight, when you reflect on the fact that what you're looking at was once the coastline of Australia and will, in due course, be gone. No, only with the knowledge that had we had more time for the trip, how many ways and in how many different lights could these have been shot in? It's even possible to get down onto some of the beaches to shoot them from that angle if you have the time. They really are a photographer's playground, though to allow yourself time to experience them you need to base yourself in Port Campbell, not Apollo Bay; the drive from Apollo is just too long.

I contemplated not using this shot and using some others where I didn't include the foreground vegetation but opted to use this instead; I think that the vegetation provides some extra perspective.

The green waters and the waves whipped up on them by the gusty winds that we had that day (not to mention the sea mist obscuring the stacks and coastline to the west) are particularly noticeable here. One wave won't do much but the stacks are subjected to this week in, week out, year in, year out. In the game of water vs rocks? Bet on water to win in the long run.
