Carved By Nature’s Wrath / The 12 Apostles, Victoria Following a day of torrential rain and gale force winds, the sun shone momentarily, lighting up the moody sky, before plunging the rugged coastline into complete darkness. As night falls, a solitary waterfall is all that remains of the passing storms, returning the much needed rain to the swollen seas of the shipwreck coast.

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.
A section of the coastline at ‘The Twelve Apostles’, Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia. Taken before the collapse in 2005 of the stack in the forground. Photographed at night by time exposure (approx 1 1/2 hrs). / Note: This image is rather soft in focus due to gusty gale force winds and slight camera movement during the exposure even with the tripod anchored down. / Nikon F3, Fuji RDP film. / © Ern Mainka
‘The Twelve Apostles’ coastline of Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia. Photographed by time exposure (for 3hrs) at night by full moon light. / It’s typically very windy along this coastline and I found that a salt covered camera and lens plus slight movement from buffeting winds makes for poor quality and blurred results. So, right weather (pretty rare), full moon, lots of time, sand bags, beanie, and ample coffee were essential. Salt spray build up on the lens and camera wobble over hours ruined earlier attempts at this. / Tomiyama Art Panorama 6×17 cropped, Fuji Velvia film. / © Ern Mainka
Taken on the spectacular Victorian west coast – a place that I never tire of frequenting… Each visit evokes new and old excitement and humbles me into the awe of nature. / / / / Canon EOS A2, Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 / / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— /

100% digital free, as always. / May I say there is nothing cooler than holding an 8×10 inch negative up to the light of a bare bulb and seeing the shot. / neat, neat, neat.
Taken in the afternoon haze as clouds roll over the mainland from the Southern Ocean, looking toward the Eastern members of the twelve apostles.
Trying to make the most of the bleak weather, Mother Nature poked a hole in the cloud to take a peak.. This only lasted about 1 minute, and I’m glad I captured it. 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 7:30am, and already the tourists were packed in the lookout area. None of which I could see were from Australia. Canon 50D, 10mm. Available Large, and definately best viewed LARGE.

Looking out from a cave on an eroding peninsular which will eventually become another free standing stack (or apostle). One step further back and it’s a very high plunge into the ocean. This section is now closed to the public due to erosion and obvious safety reasons. Taken c 1980. ‘The Twelve Apostles’, Great Ocean Road coastline, Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia.

One of the remaining Apostles on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
The pounding of waves has carved the cliffs on the coast of Victoria into one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. The Twelve Apostles are breaking apart, but over time many more will join them. Featured on Home Page (Yeah! my first), June 30th, 2009 Thanks everyone.
