A natural formation known as a Sink Hole, the Grotto can be found on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria. This one shot from inside the Grotto, looking out to sea. If you havn’t been on the Great Ocean Road, I highly recommend it as one of the most beautiful coast lines, possibly in the world! Shot taken at 11:45am. Canon 50D, 10mm. Available Large, and definately best viewed LARGE.

Rosh Hanikra is in the northwestern corner of Israel, on the border of Israel and Lebanon. The white chalk cliffs offer a spectacular panoramic view of Haifa Bay, the hills of the Galilee and the Mediterranean. The grottoes of Rosh Hanikra were formed by the sea chipping away portions of the soft chalk rock over thousands of years. These beautiful grottoes are the main attraction of Rosh Hanikra. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--

The Maltese islands have a significant number of natural caves which were once inhabited by fishermen. / The limestone caves with large flat rocks to clamber about on high up on the headland have fantastic texture. The colours are incredibly beautiful, clear, azure water which is amazingly deep. The Blue Grotto was used for a scene of the 2004 film Troy, starring Brad Pitt.

Victoria Cave, Naracoorte. This shot was a real mission in the taking. Since no tripods are allowed in the caves and using a flash is definitely not an option under these conditions, the only option was to try hand held at a slowish shutter speed. Trying to keep steady hands with a guide hovering over me waiting impatiently as the rest of the group had already moved on, and Geoff letting me know they were all waiting for me, was intense….talk about pressure! Under these conditions, and at 1/6th of a sec, I was surprised it turned out as well as it did. ☺ Image copyright © Marion Cullen. All rights reserved.

She rests among the mosses / A shrine of wood and wishes / In this quiet sunlit forest / She is peaceful, not forgotten. / Zazzle / DeviantART / - / a dryad-treestump maiden, who twisted into place, / my pencilling too messy, so wood flowed round her face. / And grasses grew around her, and roots twisted round her wrist, / and from the slender sapling behind her, rose a girl of leaves and mist. I rather liked the concept and the curvy way she posed, / so as soon as the tablet was mine again, a sketch on the screen arose… / It wasn’t quite abstract or anime, nor a gentle blushing bride / and so out of wood I carved her and let the paint decide, And the leaves spread out around her, as I sprinkled and I spun / And brown and green around her, the trees grew one by one. / The steps I saw quite clearly, but the details made me yawn / So I looked up ruins and flung dabs, until perspective was born. And moss and sunlight gathered and layers flowed and split / And the hours flew silently by, until I was forced to quit. / But the quiet woodland waited, and the headless idol watched / Until I woke this morning and added bark metallic and notched… And the trees sprang up behind, and the flowers crept over the steps / And the sun lanced through the trees and everywhere shadows crept… / Roses of orange and yellow were added on a whim / and in the offering bowl lies a lily blurred and dim. ‘Til at last I could not deny her, she had to have a head, / Although I tried to distract her by painting her fingers instead. / The shiny coins didn’t sway her, and empty was this wood, / until I shaped her a face and swept over her a hood. Then sprouted a few last flowers, and a twisting thorny vine / Along the lowest terrace, its thorns as dark as wine / But I’ve worked on this seven full hours and new ideas have grown, / So posting and moving on now, before my muse has flown.

Nikon D70 / focal length: 35 / aperture: 22 / shutter: 8 sec / time taken: 10:04am / date taken: 5/18/07 / filter: Cokin, neutral grey ND4 / used a tripod By this time of day the sun was getting really hot. I had to put the filter on in order to get the effect of the water I wanted. I always shoot in Manual mode with my waterfall pictures. I used selective color and curves to enhance the effects. I try to get the water as highlighted as possible without losing much detail and keep the contrast at a high level. I tried to use the rocks to frame the picture, let me know what you think about this technique. /

“Rosh haNikra is a cliff at the sea, right at the northern border of Israel towards Lebanon. The name means “head of the cave”, and tells us why this place is listed on showcaves.com: there are numerous impressive sea caves at the foot of the cliff, which may be reached by cable car. The longest cave is 200m long. The cliff consits of white chalk, and looks similar to the cliffs of Dover. The caves were formed by the work of the sea water, following fracture zones in the rock which are weaker than undisturbed rocks. The cliffs were always a problem for travel and trade. The mountains ridge orms a natural border, and so very early a tunnel was hewn into the soft chalk. Alexander of Macedonea (Alexander the Great) is credited for having hewed the first tunnel in 323 BC to create a passageway for his army after besieging Tyre. Later this road was used by the armies of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. In 1099 AD it was used by the Crusaders. In World War I the British Army built the first road, which as accessible to motor vehicles. The latest and most impressive traffic route through the cliff was the Haifa-Beirut-Tripoli railway, which was built by the British during World War II. There were three tunnels, one on each side of the border and one crossing the border. The tunnel on the Israelian side may be visited. The railroad tracks are removed, but there is a sort of “tourist railroad”. The caves are numerous interconnected branches totaling 200m. Formed by the work of the sea they are located around sea level at the foot of the cliff, and the only way to enter their natural entrance is with diving gear and rather dangerous. In 1968 a 400m long tunnel was opened to allow access to the caves. ”..... Thanks for viewing and commenting. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush

This is actually a pub on the beach at Marsden. You can either catch the lift down to it hence the lift shaft, or by the steps to the right. This has been here for as long as I can remember. I just could not get far enough away from the building without the top part being cropped just a tad anyway hope you like it. Nikon D300 – July 2008 Featured in – Going Coastal – March 2009

This spot is on one of the lower falls at Somerby in NSW Australia, just outside of Gosford on the Central Coast. The rock walls are alive with vivid green moss and the water gently cascades into a rock pool. The area is full of huge boulders that have tumbled down over the years but now lay bundled together to create a magical landscape. In this shot I used a Nikon D80 with an 18-55 lens. I am most impressed with this small lens as it has a decent zoom for both distant and close up shots and overall is a good everyday lens.

Another in my series of images from Somersby Falls in NSW Australia, just off the F3 Freeway exit. This spot is well worth a visit but be prepared as the paths are wet and steep. There are three levels of falls with reasonably easy access with other areas branching off the main path. It game you may be tempted to traverse below the lower falls to see what else may be hidden in the gullies below. My other waterfall images may be found HERE / /
