Description
Mt Coonowrin is one of the Glass House Mountains, located in Queensland, Australia about one hour's drive north of Brisbane.
The mountains are the subjects of several Aboriginal tales and Coonowrin is said to be the son of Tibrogargan and Beerwah. During a violent storm, Tibrogargan commanded his son Coonowrin to take his mother Beerwah and his siblings and help them move to safety. Being scared of the storm, Coonowrin instead ran off and when his father found him he hit him on the back of the head, resulting in Coonowrin's crooked neck.

very majestic, I like the darker foreground foliage for contrast too. on a side note, all that's missing is a sign that says aliens land here.
