This was one of the most awesome sunsets I have stood around for – way out in the interior. The tree was so arresting in silhouette and the light was pooling more and more intensely. It was actually raining slightly. / And I was getting nibbled at by turtles in the water as I clicked away over that magic hour.
I took this photo about 5 years ago at Coongie Lakes near Innaminka. Coongie is a world heritage area and is full of wildlife. It is nearly almost always full and sits in the middle of a dry desert.

Early morning at Coongie Lake, Coongie Lakes National Park, Innamincka, Outback South Australia, Coongie Lake is a freshwater lake that is fed by Coopers Creek (when it rains enough up north in Queensland) and is an oasis for birds – Copyright Blue Gum Pictures 2007
Coongie Lake is in outback Australia, in Burke and Wills country. It is very peaceful, occasionally you see brumbies in the area, and beware – the turtles in the lake nibble your toes if you go wading!!
