We've had a pretty miserable few weeks cloud wise in WA. I was hoping to head south for last weekends conjunction, but no luck. Monday night looked ok (for a couple of hours), so I decided to make a mad dash to an old favourite - the Pinnacles. I'm glad I did. The view was stunning and reminded me why I need to move to the country one day!
Really nice Colin. The clouds on the right almost look like the sea on a beach. How far do you have to drive to get there?
You can see the ocean in the very bottom right. But yeah, the clouds are like a false sea. Takes about 2 - 2 & 1/2 hours depending on traffic. I had to leave quite early in the afternoon though, to avoid the northern peak hour car park!

From top to bottom - Saturn, Moon, Venus, Spica.
Great shot ... I'm usually a bit "meh" on Pinnacles shots, there are so many, but this is a unique angle and I like it

It's pretty cool to have such scenic locations couple of hours drive from where you live. Just noticed Antu and yourself have nearly the same avatar. Yours is just a little rounder around the edges.
Wow I love this shot! What lens/camera/settings was this taken at? I haven't heard of the pinnacles before. Is it worth a trip to check out (only been in WA for 3yrs and haven't really explored much)?
