Pinnacles, Cape Woolamai, Victoria for Skywatch Friday

 


What I truly seek is a sky adorned with fish-scale clouds. The Pinnacles, indeed, stand as one of Melbourne’s most remarkable destinations for photography.

At Cape Woolamai’s Pinnacles on Phillip Island, the boulder rocks are covered with vibrant green moss, creating a striking contrast against the pink granite formations. These ancient rocks, formed approximately 360 million years ago from slowly cooled molten magma, have been sculpted over time by relentless ocean waves and winds. The moss thrives in the moist, salty air, adding a lush texture to the rugged landscape. This natural tapestry enhances the visual appeal of the area, making it a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. The combination of geological history and thriving plant life exemplifies the dynamic beauty of this coastal environment

  3. 'Fish scale sky' is what I would call a mackerel sky - always interesting to see, especially at sunset.

  6. A wonderful combination of both smooth ancient rocks, and craggy ones in the background. Combined with the wonderful sky that has the yellow at the bottom, your photo is truly worthy of National Geographic magazine

    1. Mine doesn't get accepted by National Geographic magazine. It really focuses on wildlife and exotic places

  16. I've heard skies like that called Mackeral skies because, as you say, it looks like fish scales.

  24. A breathtakingly beautiful photo, thanks not only to the landscape but also to the sky. The light and clouds create a lake of floating crushed ice, and the sun reflects and mirrors it—it's amazing!
