The View Behind
Uploaded: February 06, 2006
Last month I posted an image ("Summer Sunset") of the Twelve Apostles on a clear evening. I was so engrossed taking shots of the "main event" that I almost missed this - the view in the opposite direction. It was a quick scramble with the tripod as the colours were fading fast! The stacks in this image are a couple more of the "apostles". Incidentally, the name has stuck even though there were never 12, and after one collapsed into the sea last year there are only 8 left in this group. Tourists look perplexed as they count, and count again... :o) It's still a glorious sight!
ISO100, 1/4 sec, f/9, 18-55mm lens @ 18mm, single image with panorama crop.
