Wave Rock
This is a granite formation near Hyden, Western Australia. The photo would have much less impact if the people were not in the foreground. I was fortunate that they were there; I do not know them, they were not with us.
The wave shape of the rock is due to weathering at some time in the distant past when this area of the granite outcrop was below ground level.

wow! have never seen anything like it. actually, the people may help by giving it a sense of scale.

There are a number of similar granite formations around the states of Western Australia and South Australia, but this, I believe, is the most spectacular example of a 'wave' in stone.
It is a bit out of the way, being 4-500km east of Perth and more than 100km from any large town; but well worth a visit if you are travelling from Perth to Esperance.

Yes, the picture really works with the family group setting off the unique formation. Great shot. I love your description of " a bit out of the way".

This is amazing! It appears that these people are about to be swallowed in a big wave of fire.

Nice Shot! You're absolutely right with the people in the picture. It's also great that you avoided the small wall on top of the wave.

Thanks all. This is now my most viewed photo - I suppose that it is also one of my favourites. There are some of my popular photos on Flickr that I don't particularly like.

You're right about the people. I've seen lots of shots of this feature or nearby, but the people make it much more.
