(Pure Granite)
rock monster boat pacific ocean

It's actually a Granite rock outcrop on the Eastern Edge of the Australian Continent overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The next land mass beyond the horizon would be Santiago, Chile which is half the world away.

Had a good look at this and we think it looks a bit like a Lion - you can make out the ears, paw, eyes etc (think of a sphynx cat lie down position).... or one of those dog monsters from off Ghost Busters 1 (blast from the past!!). Great image, love it. Well done. TFS.

Mmm fishing boat! Munchity crunchity. Great shot, be careful not to get to close to the edge around there though. (Unless you borrowed Brian's chair for the shoot!)

Thanks for sharing.
