In Australia, a country aged by the wind, sun and sea, we see many examples of nature’s work and Forces of Nature.
I am drawn to the sea, as most of us are, who cling to the more hospitable coastal regions of Australia for hearth and home.
The limestone structures that survive, here on Australia’s southern coastline, defy wind, rain, tempest and frothing sea and are an example of natural endurance against the continual pounding of the ocean and are geologically, if not also aesthetically, interesting.
Gog and Magog, Great Ocean Road, AustraliaLondon Bridge – that fell down stranding tourists
Captured on a very basic Auto focus camera, with the exception of the first photograph, taken with a Nexus 4 and edited with Picasa.
A philosophic Australian writes here, one who admits to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics, but scratch the surface and you'll find I am a practical Environmentalist with an Egalitarian bent trying to unleash a little creativity.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I am Australian. Travel broadens the mind, so I travel whenever I can. I am an avid reader, I enjoy photography, writing and a variety of crafts, particularly traditional art forms. You are always welcome to stop by at S.t.P.A.

Wow amazing nature, I guess sometimes tough nature too – very well captured… 🙂
I love coastal landscapes and you have some awesome limestone formations here. Powerful forces of Nature, indeed, to create these. I should think those tourists were terrified when “London Bridge” fell down! Great photos,
What marvelous photos. Hope you had a great trip down by the coast. Don’t know if I’ll be going down the beaches or coastal areas in Victoria anytime soon. Winter is coming and it can get quite blowy over there.

I imagine those winds from the Southern Ocean could be quite fierce. Definitely this is a summer location!
