Having spent some time (about 45 minutes) photographing at and above the Spa Pool it was time to look for other compositions before it got dark. It’s hard to describe in words just how peaceful and beautiful this place it. Tranquil might be a word to describe it but it just doesn’t do it justice. It’s really a place you have to come to experience yourself before you can have any hope of understanding. I’m just so thankful I had the opportunity to share it with my youngest daughter – more than likely we may never be back this way again…

Tranquility

Hamersley Gorge is just so different to anywhere I’d ever been, with dramatic colours, textures and reflections, swirls of rock sweep down through the gorge and waterfalls rush into tranquil pools. It’s hard to fathom how a place like this exists so far from literally anywhere out in some of the harshest and most remote parts of the Australian outback. Given the location it is desert you’d expect – not this…

Reflecting on Life

A few hours one afternoon was never going to be enough, I quite literally could have spent days or weeks here. Alas time is so short and fleeting but in a place like this rushing just doesn’t feel right.

Tilted Living

By the time I was done dreaming the sun had almost set and I certainly didn’t want to leave…
