West Macdonnell Ranges - Northern Territory
A deadset freezing morning with temperatures around the -2C mark made this pre-dawn scree slope scramble and shoot a little bit cold for my liking… But with a vista such as this one that I had sourced out the previous day how could I say no to the opportunity before me ?

Hi Tony,
I always thought that Albert Namatjira paintings with mauve tones were false. Having now been there we all know he was true to life
Tony Middleton replied
hi Joe,
You are dead right, I had seen work from there before also and thought the colours had been pumped up etc… but it’s to be witnessed to believed I guess :)
cheers,

I remember going to Alice a couple of years ago, and seeing that amazing soft light in the evening …just wish I’d taken up photography then !
Lovely :)
Tony Middleton replied

Vicki Ferrari

May have been freezing but those gorgeous tones and light are warming me up…..lovely work !
Tony Middleton replied
very true Varinia – I still look at those lovely warm tones and think – what the hell ? – it was freezing -2 ! I’m just not used to that association I guess.
thanks :)

stunning shot.
Tony Middleton replied
thanks elph – much appreciated :)
John Kowalski
Brilliant view and shot Tony!!
Tony Middleton replied
I’m glad that you like this one John – I think outback/desert images connect with less people than other landscapes such as seascapes. Perhaps because more people have shot/seen the coast than the beautifully rugged interior ?
cheers,
Will Barton
Beautiful shot Tony. A part of the country I would love to explore.
Tony Middleton replied
hey Big-Will,
Cheers mate and I can not recommend enough that you get out there for a look and the experience. I can’t wait to do another trip myself. :)
