Flowerpot Island is part of Fathom Five National Marine Park
these fantastical rock formations were created by waves pounding at the cracks in the limestone, gradually wearing away the softer lower limestone from the harder dolomite top
there used to be three of these flowerpot shaped sea stacks, but one fell down in 1903
as you come around to the other side
of the bigger of the flowerpots,
you can make out a face

Nature as it's way of amazing us.
very handsome. and look at the help they are getting with the tree root systems. at almost 110 years since that last tumble, it will be interesting to see what might happen in the next 20-30 years.
"flower pot", hein... Un joli pour un bien beau bouquet de rocs.
Old Mother Nature is very clever when it comes to designing rock features round a coastline! Gorgeous photos!
Beautiful and very interesting! Have a great week.

Fantastic shots...glad you show people in them to get a sense of scale♫
Wow, those are really cool. Fantastic rock against that beautiful water--great pics!
Calling by from ABC Wednesday, fascinating and I did spot the face. :)
Magnificent rock formations, they remind me of the sea stack off the coast of Scotland. Fathom Five is a great name for a national marine park, as indeed is flowerpot island. Sounds like a treasure map.
