Two of the Glasshouse Mountains looming small over a pineapple farm.
The Glass House Mountains were named by James Cook as he sailed north up the coast in 1770. They were so called as the shape of the mountains reminded him of the huge glass furnaces (glasshouses) back in his native Yorkshire.
When one lives in a country as flat as ours, one takes liberties with naming terrain, Mt Coonowrin or Crookneck (the one on the right) is a towering 377 metres above sea level.

Fresh pineapple, there is little better!
ReplyDeletewonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteI love how much grass you're showing in comparison to sky, and how much detail there is.
bravo!
Excellent composition with the pineapple greenery in the front creating an interesting contrast.
ReplyDeleteSuper job.
I do like a ground shot, it's such a dramatic effect.
ReplyDeletePerceptive fellow was our James.
ReplyDeleteI had to wonder when I first viewed the picture whether they were mountains in the distance or buidings somewhat nearer.
Fantastic perspective. Your photography is getting better and better.
ReplyDeleteI love the glass house mountains.
Interesting note about the glass furnaces. Your commentary made me smile. My village, Villigen is at 357 m above sea level and we're one of the lowest points in CH!
