The 12 Apostles

Were you halted marching south,
or anchored climbing to the beach?
Did you yearn for freedom through the endless years?

Is the mystic Southern Ocean,
yours to rule or empire lost?
The mists around you rain or wasted tears?

Are you prisoners or guardians,
at the clash of rock and wave?
Do you feel us gaze in wonder at your might?

You have seen the stars before us,
and beyond us you will stand.
Forever at the edge, through day and night.

I can't get any better picture of it. The sun is shining directly into the camera.

Trivia: Although it is called the 12 Apostle, there are only 8 stacks to start with. One of them collapsed last year.
