Bararranna gorge is near Arkaroola, in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. A short walking track leads from the car park through the gorge to this point. From here you have to swim if you want to go further - the water hole is permanent despite being in a semi-arid area. It's a good place for reflections, especially late afternoon which is when this photo was taken. The bluish colour of the rocks is real: with no direct sunlight in the gorge the only source of light is the blue sky above.

Scanned from a slide. Polariser used. I applied a contrast mask in Photoshop to brighten up the shadows.
