Geology

During my visit to Western Australia in 2005, I was intrigued by these standing sentinel sculptures of limestone - the Pinnacles - found near Cervantes about 200km north of Perth.  Apparently limestone deposits run all the way along the coast of Western Australia.  The pinnacles, as they are known, take on various anthropomorphic forms, this one - a tall woman - appeared at sunset standing sentinel on a plain of wind blown sand.
