Uluru - sunset.
No real need to label this photo, it is one of the worlds most famous icons. It was a magnificent sight, rising out of the flat plain of central Australia. When your driving around the area the great rock is always around...like a compass point to give you direction. And as you drive closer, every time you look it appears to have grown, and suddenly detail appears... From a distance it appears fairly flat, but close up it has many gullies and ravines..a true 3D landscape.
Don't underestimate the equally impressive Olgas rocks in the Kata Tjuta, a series of giant rocks rising out of the ground 25 miles west of Uluru.
We arrived in the rain, then the second night we had ice on the car windscreen before our walk round the Olgas boulders, where it reached 16C in the day. This photo was taken on our second evening, part of the famous sunset sequence.
