Devils Marbles

Next to the Stuart Highway North of Alice Springs lay these huge granite boulders. There is a short self guided path with explanations of how the rocks were formed. The sky is amazing, a sharp line between clouds and blue sky.

    I remember this place, sent shivers down my spine. May not have done if they’d named it “big pile of rocks”!! Love the contrasts and shapes in this image.

    helen, thanks for your comment. I have no idea how they came up with that name.

    Thanks for your comment Gaye. Much appreciated. It seems that such a sky only appears in two spots of the world (I’ve been told)

    Beautiful shot, John….I like the contrast between sky and cloud layer. Looks like a nice area to photograph.

    G’Day mate, it sure is a nice area, very different. I’ve never seen such a sharp edged cloud.
