SkyWatch - Arkaroola Sunrise


I take off in darkness as Arkaroola village still sleeps, and hike
along the road towards Nooldulnoolduna Waterhole (I hope I 
have the right number of o's in that!). I walk with determinations
not to miss a moment of the dawn spectacle, and yes, slowly as 
the light grows, everything assumes the red glow I came for.
The sky itself in my direction looks quite bland but


turn around and it starts firing up. I hope the cloud cover will
nor dull the spectacle I expect.


Perhaps not as overwhelming as I had hoped, but rather nice 
anyway.


As the red glow spreads to the road as well, I speed up the next 
rise to get an open view of the glowing rocks.


A quick look back and I am transfixed by the emerging gold


that flames in the clouds,


I reach a little vantage point and watch the wonder of the rock 
faces bathed in blood.
This is what I came to the dry inland for, these moments of magic 
when the landscape is transformed.


Keep watching the wonder of the sky and capture those moments for all to see.
