I walked the 10km or so round the base of the rock, beginning at dawn. The rock turned orange as the sun began to rise and I took this picture of the moon beginning to go down.

When I first viewed it I thought it looked fake because of the vivid colours and the bright disk of the moon but I haven't touched the image at all - this is exactly as it came out of the camera. Nature really it that beautiful.

wonderful picture, impressive color! domino · 2007-05-24: 03:31

i'll testify to what davids has written about the natural vivid reds of uluru. that's just how it has always been. it's the aboriginals' sacred place. i don't think i've seen one taken from this angle before, though. it's special. SIMages · 2007-05-25: 21:23
