Pinnacles Desert

Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 8 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

this is another of my favourite places in Western Australia - the Pinnacles Desert in the Nambug National Park, about 250km north of Perth... it is made up basically of a series of eerie limestone formations scattered over vast yellow, rippled sand dunes... there are many places that I have re-visit in WA to take some more photos and this is one of them... this photo was taken back in the days when I was only beginning to experiment with cameras and it is probably one of my first ever panoramas as well...

thanks to everyone for visiting and commenting... please critique at will - i am looking to learn so any comments and tips are appreciated...

marvelous! i almost made it here and then there was some sort of social communication breakdown amongst the two groups i was with -- so it didn't happen after all... gorgeous shot! i will have to see these next time i am in WA! :)

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

This would look absolutely stunning blown-up to full size and framed. If you take care of that side of things, I'll provide the wall space. ;)

@Sash: yeah no worries ;-) if I ever pass by Adelaide, i will drop in to take the measurement of your wall space to ensure that I print it large enough ;-)
