Uluru/Ayers Rock

2008.02.28
From the aircraft on arrival - midday sun.

Our 'tent' at Longitude 131: the rock is 7km away.

Uluru as a backdrop to my picturesque feet. This is my idea of camping!

Rock wall around sunset.

They call this 'Mick Jagger's Lips'.

It's just awesome!

Walking the trail at the rock base.

From the camp at dawn.

Talk about colours! Probably Australia's most recognisable icon, this massive pile of rock stands 350 metres high. Like an iceberg, it has most of its bulk below the surface. The colour changes in different lights - the base colour of the rock is grey; the red comes from rusted iron oxide, which you can rub off. I love this sacred place.

photopoet The colouring is spectacular. I've always been drawn to oranges, reds and anything in-between. The fourth is my favorite.

virtualjourney Great shots and spectacular camp site.... ! Its interesting to see this from a more personal viewpoint. There don't seem to be many people about - or was that the time of day?

JanetLippincott The contrast of colors in number 6 is amazing. I can hardly imagine walking along and seeing that. I added it to my favorites.
