Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Image captured this afternoon on my walk around Uluru. Having been thoroughly drenched by yet another stormy shower (I had to wrap the camera in a plastic bag), I was amazed to turn around and find this beautiful view as the rain cleared and the sun returned.

Sarai
I envy you the chance to take off in your motorhome. I’ve been trying to get a tent and hit the woods…Never to return to city life again. But alas, I have people who need me and my duties lie here for the moment. But, I can feel it…I’m getting closer everyday to just “getting away.” I would rather be in the mountains, the woods, the hills, Never tried the desert..I’d probably perish while digging a hole for water…Yet, I will find myself in some type of wilderness setting soon, or I will go stir-crazy. Your wine glasses are unique and inspiring. I yearn for a fire at a campsite along a rushing brook full of delicatable trout, and a few shots of Jose….
Love,
sarai
Nurgen ~~
The landscape is captured beautifully and is very rich and warm. The contrast with the rainbow and just how clear the rainbow is is wonderful. When you look at it all together you have a great sense of openness and warmth, beautifully shot:)))))))))
Keiran Lusk replied
