From Wikipidea "Ko Tapu is a steep rocky monolith, about 20 meters tall. This rock column lies approximately 200 meters offshore of the two-islet pair known as Ko Khao Phingkan (Thai: เกาะเขาพิงกัน, lit. "hills resting on each other island"). The islands are located within the Ao Phang Nga National Park. [1]

Departing from Phuket island, day-tours using longtail boats usually land at nearby Ko Khao Phingkan, where market booths are set up.

Ko Tapu has become a popular tourist attraction since it was featured in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun in 1974; for this reason, it is also often referred to as James Bond Island (the later 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies also includes a scene in Phang Nga Bay, close to James Bond Island).

Scenes from the Bollywood movie Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai were also shot here."

This weekend was the Queen's Birthday long weekend and I spent it down the NSW South Coast. I finally found the path to Glasshouse Rocks Beach at Narooma (third time lucky). I guess the locals want to keep it to themselves.

It was a great winter's day, sunny and 18°C (64°F).

Here's some of the day's pics.

Oh well, Mike, at the risk of derailing things: alternative take on lounge lizards.

This series of images were taken in La Perouse, Sydney. It is located on the northern side of Botany Bay and is a popular picnic spot.

Looks like a great place to make interesting rock shots! The top image looks like sandbags, stacked against a flood...

Wow, what a great place! They're all very good. I favor the first one, and that crazy rock in the third image.

Did you get any closer shots of that crazy rock that you like?

Matt

Some rocks from Iceland...

Isn't Mother Nature grand!?!?

And nice to see you here again, Tim! Been a while, hasn't it?

Mushroom Rock is in Kalbarri, Western Australia. From the second shot it is easy to see how it got its name and the third shot shows how it got its shape.

I was happily shooting away when I thought the wave behind the rock was big, then very big and then I thought… I've got to get out of here. The wave chased me 30–40 metres across the rock shelf. A good reminder that the coast can be dangerous at any time.

Cheers,
