Ormiston Gorge Northern Territory

From the Red Centre trip a little while back.

 

Ormiston Gorge is a spectacular location nestled in the West Macdonnell ranges. The hiking here is wonderful whether on day walks or on the magnificent Larapinta trail (would love to do that one day!).

 

To get this shot I actually waited about an hour for a combination of light and still conditions to allow the reflections to show in the water.

 

I had also hoped that during this time the lady in the background would have moved on however I can't blame her for enjoying the location!! In the end the human interest provides scale to the immense landscape.

 

If you are ever in the West Macs I recommend basing yourself at Glen Helen lodge. Spectacular location and although the accommodation is basic the meals are superb!!

 

Taken with a Pentax 645Nii medium format film camera and fuji velvia 50 film.
