harsh country...
I was in rugged remote country in outback Qld – no one else about…my sort of place ! Whilst exploring the region earlier in the day I had spotted this large isolated red termite mound and put it ‘in the memory bank’ for a possible composition. As the sun descended an amazing bit of luck occurred. The elements came together and the last of the sun’s rays continued to shine through the gap/gorge that had been eroded through the ridgeline to the west – hi lighting the termite mound and surrounding spinifex. It was very special to witness and something I feel so lucky to have been the only one to see!

What a lovely unexpected surprise you found! So beautiful in the setting sun, and especially as you were alone there. A special treat from nature! (It is even more amazing in detail when I viewed it large.)

We photographers live for these wondrous serendipitous moments don’t we – and there is also something particularly special about witnessing them alone I think. Beautiful image Tony.
