An epic 24 hours at South East Cape Bay with 4m seas crashing onto Lion Rock all through the day and into the night.
This image sums those seas up perfectly with the setting sun, circling sea birds, crashing waves, towering spray and magic sun beams to top it off.

Located between the takayna/Tarkine Forest and the coast, the intervening hills are alive with small copses of trees, rocky outcrops and fields of flowers and button grass.

Largely untouched by industry, takayna is under constant threat from mining and forestry as it remains unprotected.

Witness the full power of the Southern Ocean.
With a 4 metre swell and an incoming tide, standing near Lion Rock I felt increasingly vulnerable, but could not tear my eyes away from this incredible spectacle of nature’s forces.
Both the spray and the late afternoon sun gave the scen a monochromatic look, even though this photograph is in full colour.
South East Cape Bay is at Tasmania’s southern-most point (outside of offshore islands). Getting there is an easy 2 hour walk from Cockle Creek.

Southern Ocean Waves at Lion Rock
A friend and I went down to Lion Rock to experience a predicted 4m swell, amongst other things.
This video (previous post) gives an idea of just how powerful and massive these waves were. This is a photograph of just one of the waves, which the video will never be able to show.

I wasn’t sure whether to show the video or photo first, but the video won out.

Beach detail Tarkine Coast
With so much to see and photograph on the West Coast, it is sometimes the ephemeral that attracts my attention. This scene will never be seen again. By the time the tide comes in, the starfish will be gone and the kelp shifted.
