The Story Behind the Shot

Y'all, this 12 Apostles photography print came from one of those unplanned moments that turned into something extraordinary. I was racing through the Great Ocean Road on the final day of my Australia adventure, with clouds and drizzle following me most of the way. But when I reached Port Campbell National Park, I noticed something magical happening on the horizon – a gap forming in the storm clouds out over the Southern Ocean.

After checking into my hotel, I rushed back to the 12 Apostles viewpoint just as the sun began peeking through that gap. What followed was one of the most spectacular sunsets I've ever witnessed. The sky erupted in oranges and pinks, casting this incredible purple-pink glow across the water and making these ancient limestone cliffs absolutely glow in the golden light. Standing there, watching this wild display unfold, I was reminded why these places call us to explore – and why they matter so much.

Here's something that makes this image even more special: the 12 Apostles aren't actually twelve anymore. Several have collapsed into the ocean over recent years, leaving only eight standing. It's a powerful reminder that our wild places are constantly changing, and moments like this sunset might not be here forever.
