Kings Canyon is a unique and spectacular collection of landforms located midway between Alice Springs and Uluru (Ayers Rock) in central Australia. Areas of ripple rock like this are fingerprints left from a time some 300 to 400 million years ago when large ephemeral lakes and rivers were a feature of central Australia. The ripple beds were laid down in Mereenie Sandstone that was subsequently covered by other material which has since been worn away. The area photographed here was part of a larger specimen. Each of the ripples is roughly 10-20 mm wide and the area covered by the photograph is about 300mm on the long side.

"In matters of visual form we sense that Nature plays favorites. Among her darlings are spirals...the spiral is the height of versatility, playing roles in the replication of the smallest virus and in the arrangement of matter in the largest galaxy"

An assortment of nature's oddities. A few resemble manufactured items -- I see a phone, a gaming controller and a sporty steering wheel.

Here's one plant that produces blossoms that remind me of Spring as opposed to Fall. These are still blooming near the little stream that runs along the north side of our property.
