Many of the photos here are taken in central Australia, specifically within a 500 km radius of Alice Springs. It is powerful scape of extreme heat and cold. Full of low ranges covered with spinifex, rolling sand dunes, secret water-holes, salt and claypans which turn to mirrors after rain,,,,,a rare pleasure.
Also known as the dead heart, the red centre the out back, tis outback and red but far from dead. This country is home to many Mobs of Traditional custodians. I go no further before acknowleging their pre-sense of 40 000years+ of continuous culture.

tteerriitt is creating says:
"Peter has a way of capturing the spirit of the creation that is gathered up by his soul and reflected back to our hearts through light and shadows...
He expresses the spirit of the heart of this country in ways most Australians still don't know exists...
It is an honour to be in the presence of his masterpieces...."20th September, 2008

SucculentGoddess says:
"Claypanpete aka Peter is a rare find among photographers.
He used to guide people on walks. Now I think he is a rare person that lets the spirit of the land guide him. This is evident in most of his photography.
A true artist that is not only wise enough to listen to his landscape but clever enough to give it a voice.
An inspiration."28th February, 2008
