Was 3-day travelling to witness Ayers Rock, also known by its Aboriginal name Uluru worth it?
I shot this 5 years ago with a Nikon D5000 and I am sure you will agree with me YES, it represents one of the most spectacular moments of over 80 countries I have travelled to.
Ayers Rock also known by its Aboriginal name of Uluru - UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the world’s most mysterious religious sites, eclipsing even Stonehenge and far more ancient. It is easily the most iconic natural landform in Australia. A sacred place of the region’s indigenous Aboriginal tribe.
The creation of Uluru began over 500 million years ago. Uluru rises steeply on all sides to a height of 1.6kms, while the summit is generally flat, the rock is about 3.6kms long and 1.9kms wide, with a circumference of 9.4kms. The climb to the top is 1.6kms, much of which is at a steep angle.
Why is the rock red?
The red colour of Uluru is due to the oxidisation or the rusting of the iron-bearing minerals within the rock as it has sat there in the desert air for hundreds of thousands of years.
Magical and Mysterious
The most spectacular moment is at sunset at Uluru, when the vast monolith slowly changes colour through moody blue to mysterious purple. I was luckily enough to witness this and although shot tons of photos I love this photograph the best as it represents the perfect moment, catching a myriad of colours, the mysterious Uluru against a spectacular backdrop.
Incredibly Enchanting.
