Thomas Martin McShane, The Road to Remarkable Rocks, Kangaroo Island (SEASCAPE 2026)

I returned to this spot five times in search of the perfect lighting... the golden hours just weren't helping to convey what I was seeing. It turns out that some stray rays fighting the overcast sky were the answer. What a great opportunity though, to thoroughly explore the stunning, naturally sculpted granite boulders perched on a cliff edge in Flinders Chase National Park on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. These surreal, orange-lichen-covered sculptures were 500 million years in the making. Their artists? Wind, rain, and sea spray.
