Stormy weather at the 12 Apostles

Description

Great Ocean Road, South Australia, at the 12 Apostles. A storm was blowing in, covering the setting sun creating some wild light. Took this lying on the sand to get the sea gulls as some foreground interest and bracketted to deal with the really bright light. Contrast improved using a duplicate layer in photoshop. Canon D60, 1/250s @ f/11, ISO 200, 24-85@85mm Polariser used.
