From Wikipedia:
Kata Tjuta, sometimes written Kata Tjuta, and also known as Mount Olga (or colloquially as The Olgas), are a group of large domed rock formations located about 365 km southwest of Alice Springs, in the southern part of the Northern Territory, central Australia. Uluru, 25 km to the east and Kata Tjuta form the two major landmarks within the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. The 36 domes, covering an area of 21.68 kmē, are composed of conglomerate, a sedimentary rock consisting of cobbles and boulders of varying rock types including granite and basalt, cemented by a matrix of sandstone. The highest point, Mount Olga, is 1066 m above sea level, or approximately 546 m above the surrounding plain (203 m higher than Uluru). Kata Tjuta is located at the eastern end of the Docker River Road. |

Great long shot.... a place close to my heart! Someone once told me that if you look carefully enough at the Olgas, you see Homer Simpson lying down. I still can't see it.
You managed to capture this beautiful place on Earth superbly. Well done!

Nice panorama. I really enjoyed my trip there. See the sunshades.
Hello Markus,
Nice panoramic view of the Olgas, May need a little sharpness after resizing but nice capture anyway. Hope your trip has been worthwhile.
Regards
Santo
Hello Markus
Nice panoramic shot. Good luminosity in difficult condition. I like the "false horizon" over the treeline merging into the foothills.
