Dunescape 1

This was taken in June during a sunset break on an epic 12 hour drive from deep in the Simpson Desert back to Alice Springs. This is about the midway point at old Andado Station which was flooded at the time. Vast lakes filled the plains between the dunes. Growth from the Rains was in a 2nd cycle so there was a beautiful combination of the colours of life and death dotting the dunes. Smoke was in the air from fires spotted all over the Station property and low cloud hinted at more rain and mirrored the ripples of the dune. I left after sundown for the final dusty 5 hour drive home with scenes like this flashing through the mind. Keeping me awake.
