NOT FOR SALE – not culturally cleared by UKTNP media office The late afternoon light moves across the face of Uluru highlighting the sedimentary textures of the rock. This angle of light will soon disappear as the sun moves toward the winter solstice position. It is very much an honour to know such a revered Australia Icon so very well.

Great work of wind… Sandy texture… / Photo was made on Bahrainy Island – one of the public Islands near to Abu Dhabi, UAE. /
Central Australian Desert is an ancient mystical landscape. The Spirit of the desert series is an attempt at capturing the senses, those moods and sensations you feel and experience within, as well as the pure visual extravaganza they are. / Midsummer photography is an intense experience, and you are absorbed by more than getting the shot, rather the landscape insists and it hits you with 40+ temperatures, flys drinking fluid from the corners of mouth and eyes, spinifex and other plants imbedding their barbs into bare legs and stones too hot to touch or rest upon. At the same time there is a deep stillness and an easy sense of being that is difficult to convey

Featured in “National Parks of the World” – June 2009. Here in one of the hottest places on earth, large rocks appear to race one another around a dry lake bed leaving long trails behind them and small piles of dried mud in front of them. No one has seen them move but the evidence shows that they do…somehow. The practical theory is that the combination of seasonal heavy rains and very high speed winds can push these rocks, sometimes weighing as much as the average person, across the slippery muddy surface of the usually dry lake. On cold winter nights, sheets of ice probably also contribute to the movement of these “sailing stones.” [Wikipedia entry – Racetrack Playa] [U.S. National Park Service website] / Copyright © 2004 Brian W.
