Mt Augustus - or Burringurrah, as it is known in the Wadjari Aboriginal language - rises majestically from the red earth of Western Australia. It is not only the largest visible monolith in the world, but also a place full of cultural depth and natural beauty. Twice the size of the famous Uluru, it stands alone above the endless landscape - a geological masterpiece of epic proportions.
Your image subtly captures this grandeur: In the foreground, a silvery-green desert plant with bright purple flowers, bravely holding its own against the heat - symbolising survival in harsh environments. Behind it, the huge, rust-coloured silhouette of the mountain spreads out, framed by the intense blue of the cloudless sky. It is a motif full of contrasts - soft and hard, life and stone, now and eternity.
Burringurrah is a place to marvel at, to pause for a moment - and for many Australians it is also a spiritual place. This picture expresses all of this in one moment: the untamed beauty of the outback, the power of nature and the quiet dignity of a place that will never be forgotten.
I have brought back many photo impressions from my travels. So that you can also enjoy the impressive pictures, I offer selected photos here that can be printed on canvas, as posters, on acrylic glass and even more media. For more travel inspiration, visit my website.. Read more…
