Another from Chillagoe, angles were difficult so were the kids
I`m truly amazed that no one has pushed this over, it stands about 30 feet or so and I have seen photos of it with a man standing against it from the late 1800s

Would have liked to go back in better light.

C&C welcome.

Very photogenic. Difficult to do justice with under harsh daylight. It is crying out for a polariser to darken the sky. Perhaps a lower shooting position and getting a bit closer with a wider angle might help.

I once saw two rocks on top of each other that had worn down to about 6 inches high

Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff
