Pinnacles Blue Hour, a photo from Western Australia, West

Photographer's Note

Nambung National Park, which is a couple of hours drive north of Perth, is home to the Pinnacles, a large area of sand, which is decorated by hundreds of limeshone columns. It isn't clear how they formed; there are three theories, nevertheless they make the national park a popular spot for tourists.

Hi Stephen
It was several years ago I saw these pinnacles, and your photo brought back many happy memories.I was with a mini bus of campanologists, and we visited the Pinnacles after ringing the church bells on the West coast.T.F.S

Hello Stephen - Your long exposure has worked it's magic on the sky; it is softly hued and quite lovely. A perfect backdrop to the FG detail. The whole scene has "another world" feel. Good job. Best regards Rosemary

Hi Steve

I agree with Ian. It's the best shot of the Pinnacles I've seen. Not much else to say really, fantastic job.

Have a good evening

Hello Stephen,
Very interesting image in great quality, lovely colours and good POV. They obviously are a (wind) erosion remnant probably of calcrete and some ferricrete. Perhaps plant roots played a role in their differential resistance to weathering. Congratulations with this very pleasant picture. Best wishes.
