Description

I cannot imagine that anyone who sees Uluru (Ayers Rock), 'in the flesh,' is disappointed. There is no question that it is the ultimate Australian landmark. But for all the magnificence of its entirety, I found immense beauty in the smaller views, the less-photographed corners and gullies of the rock, and the way the light plays with the contours and colours. I loved the detail of trees etched against its red-brown surfaces and the feathery cream-green-rust grasses - the impossibly blue skies that form an almost unreal backdrop to its bulk.
