Loch Ard Gorge

I couldn't imagine anything more amazing than the Twelve Apostles, but Loch Ard Gorge, the site of a fateful shipwreck, was raw and fierce in its beauty. 

I could not get enough of the towering cliffs of stone, layers carved intricately by the elements.

I've had that shockingly awed feeling before, but not since visiting Yosemite. Those of you who've been there know what I mean.

It was a place that was powerful and spiritual and full of history.

Wonderful and ancient and delicate even in the forces of nature that continue to change it in front of our eyes.
