The Sun sets on Uluru

Any mention of Uluru would not be complete without the obligatory sunset photos.  However, communing with the rock at sunset is not the solitary, spiritual experience you may imagine. It is to be done in designated areas...one for folks in cars and the other for paying bus/coach types. Check out the picture below...see all those shadows in the foreground?  That is only a tiny sample of the couple of hundred people who joined me to gaze in awe the night we was there.

It is an amazing thing to see and different every night. Well worth elbowing others out of the way.

Horizons #6 and # 7.

Somewhere along the Lassiter Highway - a celebration of the red!

Horizon # 5

Alongside the Stuart Highway in Alice Springs. It's blurry because I had been holding the phone in my hand as I walked. I think the lens must have fogged up, but I quite like the effect.

Horizon #4

I think it is the layers in this one that draw me in. From the top of the tree in the foreground, to the rows of tree covered hills and the baldy ones in the background to the layers in the sky and clouds. Wish I could tell you the name of those bald hills but there wasn't a little doohickey pointing out the landmarks and telling you how far away they were.

Horizons #2 and # 3

I think I like horizons where the earth looks like it has been cut from cardboard. Maybe I should have been a set designer for the stage. Oh, but I do love a dramatic sky with clouds too.

Horizons #1

I am fascinated by horizons, near and far. I don't know if it's about aesthetics or the wonderment of what might be over there. Whatever it is, I have decided to collect and document my favourites here. So without further ado:  Horizon # 1, an evening affair in the valley, Walhalla.
