Overview
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction. Despite their name, it is possible that there were never 12 rock stacks. Seven of the original nine stacks remain standing. Six of them are visible from the most popular viewpoint, while the seventh is located several metres away from the corner of the main viewing platform.

After an early morning drive to the 12 Apostles to watch the sunrise, I took several long exposure shots (first time with the ND1000 filter. While leaving, I took this photo handheld, which I like very much.
