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

Cape Woolamai for Sunday Best

 

I have visited this place numerous times, and this particular visit is from the past. Each time I come here, I inevitably acquire a new injury.

The Pinnacles of Phillip Island are a striking natural rock formation located within the Cape Woolamai region, one of the island's most scenic and rugged landscapes. These towering granite structures, sculpted by centuries of wind and ocean erosion, rise dramatically along the coastline, offering breathtaking views, especially at sunrise and sunset when the rocks are bathed in golden light.
