6 Ochre cliffs

Melbourne, Australia

The ochre cliffs of Victoria formed by the lava of ancient volcanoes, millions years ago.
Partnered by wind, rain, and eons of time, the sea sculpts the cliff-faces.

Amazing that they grow there... it looks so dry. Great textures and the pop of the yellow flowers makes this really interesting!

These plants are like pioneers on these rocky places. So interesting to see your red landscape!

Plants find away to take hold almost anywhere. Nicely done.

Well captured, Mieke. I love the tough little flowers that pop up here and there in this terrain.

I love the tough little flowers that grow along volcanic areas. Spring is coming!
