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."

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.

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.
Peace through superior firepower (those who know will know).
Small unit heavily inspired by the wonderful work of
Suspended Animation, check it out!
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.
Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park is not the highest or the widest waterfall in the Canadian Rockies but it is the most powerful. The full width of the Athabasca River is funneled into a three metre gap and over the brink of the falls. Despite what the interpretive signs say, most of the rock is not limestone, it is actually gog quartzite, and ounce for ounce it's as strong as steel. And as you can well imagine, it would take a very powerful waterfall to cut through steel.
