An iconic scene of intense colour from outback Australia

An adult Mulga Dragon (Caimanops amphiboluroides) basks cryptically in the late afternoon near Sandstone in the arid Goldfields region of Western Australia. A spectacular arboreal species from the arid zone.

Image taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 3 DSLR coupled to a vintage Rollei QBM mount Carl Zeiss Distagon HFT 16/2.8 lens with an adapter from Leitax. Hand-held with manual focus and settings.
