Outback sunset

Sunset on the endless flat plains of outback South Australia. This shot taken at Coober Pedy, a town 846 Km north of Adelaide on the Stuart Highway. The town is sometimes referred to as the "opal capital of the world" because of the quantity of precious opals that are mined there. Coober Pedy is renowned for its below-ground residences, called "dugouts", where most of the population live due to the scorching daytime temperatures.
