Hadn't been here before and set up at the highest point in awe of the beautiful sunset. Benches always seem to be positioned in the most appropriate places to get the best view. Clever benches.
Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia.
Two of the most dramatic limestone sea stacks known as the Twelve Apostles are Gog and Magog. They are the only ones that visitors can get close to, via the Gibson Steps. All the others have to be viewed from the 70m clifftops.

"Located about one kilometre east of the Twelve Apostles Visitor Facility are the Gibson Steps, a set of steps from a car park which lead down to Gibson Beach which provides access, at beach level, to the Twelve Apostles. The original steps were carved into the rock by Hugh Gibson, an early owner of Glenample Homestead. They have been improved over the years and offer a sea level view of the "stacks" that make up the Twelve Apostles. The two that are viewable from the beach are known as Gog and Magog. Fishing is possible from the beach but it is unwise to go swimming."
Gog and Magog.
Two Barges that sailed too and from the Woolwich Arsenal with Canon and other artillery pieces for test and proofing.
Built between 1909 and 1910 they have stood the time of endless tides and storms but sadly their days are running out as constant tidal erosion is taking its toll.

Got up early (due to no fault of my own) and decided to watch the sunrise from the Garden of the Gods on the way to work. I figured sunrises are only going to get earlier and earlier from this point into summer, so it was good timing.
Another interesting part of the rock formations of the Twelve Apostles.These two limestone rock stack sit on their own at the base of the Gibson steps.
I was looking over at the Crowfoot Glacier when the geoscientist told us that the nearby rubble was from the Lower Cambrian Gog group – about 540 mya. The band of rock at the bottom of Crowfoot Mountain is also Gog. I eased back a bit on my framing to capture both.

Peace through superior firepower (those who know will know).
Small unit heavily inspired by the wonderful work of

Ezekiel 38:21 “‘Then I’ll call for war against Gog on top of every mountain,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘and every weapon of war will be turned against their fellow soldier.’”
Or is it Magog?
Odd names for two of the 12 apostles down on Gibsons steps Beach on the Ocean Road. We're going to head to WA for a week to photograph Karijini ! Can't wait - it's been a while in between drinks ;)
Meeting up with some of the Focus crew at Great Ocean Road, Australia. These two sea stacks are known as Gog and Magog.
It is only a matter of time until these rock towers fall into the sea. Locally named Gog and Magog. These sandstone towers are just south of the main 12 Apostles look out, out off Gibson Beach.
This panoramic shot was taken 15 minutes prior to sunrise with a long exposure.
I love this part of Australia, I hope you get to view these in person before the sea reclaims them and makes some new ones from the cliffs. Visit www.digitaladventures.com.au for more images from this special place.
I read an article today about what successful products can teach us about design. A quote that stood out read ' '...the more you compete inside, the less you’ll have to compete outside."
It was referring to one of the largest tech companies today - but also struck on a personal level. Although 'competing' in a self-discovery form feels a little stretched, the idea is the same.
And is there anything more draining than competing on the outside?
