ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Image of giant causeway rocks located at Fingal Heads in NSW Australia. The columnar basalt lava flow at Fingal Head extends underwater to Cook Island (named after Lieutenant James Cook who explored the east coast of Australia in 1770). The lava is thought to have come from the prehistoric Tweed Volcano and is known as "Lismore Basalt". The jointing, clearly evident at Fingal Head is caused by contraction: as lava cools from the outside toward the centre, shrinkage cracks develop, usually forming hexagonal patterns (the shape of the columns is attributed to tensional stress). These columns are vertical because the lava cools from top to bottom when the flow of lava is horizontal.

AUTHOR
A CPA by profession, working in one Mutual Bank in Australia as Internal Auditor. Edwin is a self-taught photographer based in Queensland, Australia and only discovered his interest in photography in the early 2015 when he bought his first DLSR (Nikon D750).

His passion is on landscapes/ seascapes, nature, and cityscapes. He likes to spend considerable time in capturing the scene and trying to slow down the process. Using his imagination and visioning, he digs deeper within himself to capture the moments and express his emotions. He knows that each images has a story to tell, and that special moment will never come back again. When not taking photographs, he is busy watching DOTA 2 online games and Basketball Games.
