The Twelve Apostles

mountains as seen from Camps Bay beach.

In 1820 the mountains were so named because of it's twelve easily distinguishable buttresses.

Maybe not too noticeable from this perspective.

Lovely shot. A bit different to our 12 apostles, half of which have fallen into the sea!

I was thinking of the Australian Apostles too. As @pusspup says - theirs have not kept the original shapes. I think these ones will!

Love it as said above, different to our 12 apostles
