Every second, the Sun converts 657 million tons of hydrogen into helium.
That powerhouse makes wind and weather on Earth, shapes our landscapes and lets life live on it.
It took the light 8 minutes to travel the 150 million kilometres (93 206 000 miles) to our 1000mm lens.

Giant red sun rises behind silhouette of gum tree.

Among our landscapes and photos of nature you will find some animal photography.
We hope, over time, to cover much more.
A destination for superb nature photography is, of course: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/

Huge red globe of a setting sun standing out dramatically from dark background. Gumtree silhouettes in front of sun. Very eyecatching.

STORMCLOUDS BARKLY TABLELAND

Scraggly tree in endless emptyness of desert plain.

THE PLAINS

Red stripes of early morning clouds. Scraggly bush silhouette in Australian outback setting. Romantic atmosphere.

OUTBACK DAWN (or dusk) - red stripes of cirrus

Exotic moonlike landscape covered by the mounds of tailings. This is the worked earth and end result of digging for opals.

OPAL MINING Coober Pedy

ULURU (Ayers Rock)

Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park.
Inscribed on the World Heritage List since 1987 for its unique natural and cultural values.
The park represents a cross section of central Australia’s arid ecosystem. It is inhabited by one of the few hunting and gathering cultures remaining in the world.
For details see: http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/447

Typical Australian outback setting of low scrub. Looking at Kata Tjuta's sculpted rock formations glowing in red hues of sunrise. Unusual eyecatching angle.

KATA TJUTA (the Olgas)

Sunrise - Sunset; one day in the life of ULURU (Ayers Rock)
Uluru’s famous red glo is helped by the countless tiny quartz particles in the rock. They hold a mirror to the sun.
A little haze helps. It filters out the short wave of the spectrum, the blues, so the rock can bathe in, and reflect, mainly red.
