Located just three kilometres north of Kiama at the southern end of Jones Beach, this distinctive rock formation is part of our geologically fascinating coastline. Cathedral Rocks, has lured sightseers since 1890. These volcanic rocks, while intensely hard, have many joints. These joints have been eroded for many years, leaving these mysterious rock formations

The best thing I like about landscape/nature photography is to witness the amazing shift change occurs in the nature. Be part of it.

Great texture on those rocks against the beautiful sunrise. Veeeeeeeeeeeery nice. I was down Kiama way a week ago and didn’t get anything to post. Lucky U …. You had better timing than me.
Thank you so much Christina for your lovely compliment and words, very much appreciated! It was tricky to capture light here. With my ND400, rocks were coming lot darker so decided to go for the Grad NDs. Glad you like it. Thanks for the fave too! Cheers!
