Kata Tjuta (Olgas) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Those that haven't been to Australia, and in particular the Northern Territory, will probably not know (like myself) that Uluru (Ayers Rock) is not the only huge rock in the middle of nowhere. Infact, this one can be seen from Uluru and is about 200 metres taller than Uluru. The main difference is that Uluru is one large rock, whereas the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) is made up of millions of small rocks that all solidified together back way beyond in time.

There is some really good walking around here, and unfortunately the photo is let down by being taken through a windscreen.

Nice photo. It is good to see that some one appreciates the other rocks other than the infamous ayres rock. I like the photo, but the best time to take pictures of the orange bulders is right on sun set/ sun rise. My recommedation on this one would be to crop the top off a little and try to focus on the road leading up to the boulders.

Thats just my thought anyway.

I think it's a neat view point, from the road. The clarity is a little off, but I like the placement of the Olgas and the land and sky. I've heard that also, like Uluru, the rocks change colours at different times of day. Thanks for sharing these.
