In the North of the Pilbara of Western Australia a timeless landscape simmers in the unbearable heat, line after unending line of ridges marching across the Earth’s surface… / Some of the ridges are closer together, some have joined together, wavy lines of rock and sand become one for short distances…it is in these places where the ribs of the Earth come together that water can collect and exist for a while, and where the vegetation can thrive…eucalypts, acacias and desert scrub crowd together in an effort to survive, like so many pub patrons on a hot Sunday afternoon / Outside, in the flat baking valleys only the toughest live on, determined, grim and unbowed as were the first explorers and settlers of this most beautiful of hells… / Life is hard in my Country / But Death is not an option 60×60 cm / Acrylic & inks on stretched canvas / Original for sale, my own ribs are showing, man!

Shot taken from a gorge in Karijini National Park, WA. / . / See a Video here / . / When I’m all alone / And no one else is there / Waiting by the phone / To remind me / I’m still here / When shadows paint the scenes / Where spotlights used to fall / And I’m left wondering / Is it really worth it all? There’s a peace inside us all / Let it be your friend / It will help you carry on / In the end / There’s a peace inside us all Life can hold you down / When you’re not looking up / Can’t you hear the sounds? / Hearts beating out loud / Although the names change / Inside we’re all the same / Why can’t we tear down the walls? / To show the scars we’re covering There’s a peace inside us all / Let it be your friend / It will help you carry on / In the end / There’s a peace inside us all There’s a peace / Oh, there’s a peace inside us all / Let it be / Oh, I said, let it be / Let it be your friend There’s a peace inside us all / Let it be your friend / It will help you carry on / In the end / There’s a peace inside us all There’s a peace inside us all / (Inside us all, inside us all) / There’s a peace inside us all / (Let it be, let it be, let it be…) / There’s a peace inside us all / (Let it be your friend) / . / Creed
Rock engravings (petroglyphs) occur at countless sites over a wide area in the Pilbara region, with a variety of styles and subjects. The engraved motifs generally depict fauna, animal tracks and abstract symbols. Pilbara Petroglyphs are considered the earliest example of art in Australia. My field assistant and I stumbled upon these ones while mapping in an area near Wodgina Station. We suddenly felt like very new arrivals in this ancient landscape…
Horseshoe Gorge is in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

A deep, cold pool down in the bowels of Hancock Gorge. Not much sun gets down here due to the high, narrow walls of the gorge.
Kermit’s Pool / Hancock Gorge / Karijini National Park-Western Australia Taken on my trip to the Pilbara. Kermit’s Pool is often referred to as the Heart of the Pilbara.

A lone tree on a rocky hill, late afternoon light, a gentle shower falls from a young cumulus. The ancient Pilbara landscape comes alive…

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Jasper – Marble Bar #7 Available for sale as: MATTED PRINT, LAMINATED PRINT, MOUNTED PRINT, CANVAS PRINT, FRAMED PRINT AND SMALL (592mm x 381mm) POSTER. Just some of the amazing colours of Jasper found at Marble Bar, Pilbara Region, Western Australia. Marble Bar is situated 218 kilometres southeast of Port Hedland, Western Australia, and is renowned as the hottest town in Australia, due to the record heat wave of 1923/24. The Guinness Book of Records lists the highest maximum to have been reached in Marble Bar as 49.2 degrees C. The town was called Marble Bar after a stunning formation of jasper which settlers mistook for a huge bar of marble. Marble Bar had a population of over 5,000 after gold was found nearby in 1891, but today the town has about 410 inhabitants. However, it continues to be a very productive centre, with gold, tin, silver, lead, zinc, copper and jade deposits being mined. Marble Bar is a very historic town, with many old buildings and remnants of the past. The Government Buildings built in 1896 cost 7949 pounds, 11 shillings and two pence to complete. Comet Gold Mine and the Corunna Downs Airbase were one of the best kept secrets of World War II.

View the ClevR full size Panorama here (It’s awesome!!) A very wide view of Mt Tom Price, with the Mine Site visible nestled in the mountain side. I can’t believe how much I got in with this Panorama shot!!! The File I uploaded for this is 14587×3048 pixels and is very detailed when viewed full size. The only way I could think of to show the detail in this is to show you a full size sample. The whitish square in the thumb below is roughly the detailed view below that. :)
A view of the Pilbara landscape from the air. The colour of the earth is amazing. The textures of the land brought out by the morning light had me captivated staring out of the window.
This is such a beautiful spot and well worth the steep climb down!

A small whirlpool is created by running water cascading down the narrow confines of Hancock Gorge, Karijini National Park, Western Australia.
Kalimina Gorge / Karijini National Park-Western Australia On one of my walks through Kalimina gorge I came across this gorgeous little cascade. The coloured rock of the gorge walls lit up in the afternoon light created the most wonderful reflections in the water.
