Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia
The only pictures I had ever seen of Uluru were essentially the same shot - a picture of the entire rock, at some unspecified time of the day when the lighting is just right, there are no people, no frames of reference for size, and it is truly hard to imagine the scale of this giant rock. It is absolutely massive, and it is a 9km walk around the circumference. Rion and I did not walk around the entire thing, but we spent quite a bit of time exploring.
We figured since we did drive all the way out there, we would try to experience the full grandure of the changing light on its' surface, from sun-up to sun-down. Sunrise came very early and there were quite a few willing to join in the experience.
The early morning sun shows the deep crevises and holes in the rocks surface.
Again, it is truly impossible to imagine how massive and impressive Uluru is. In fact, it's hard to take your eyes off of it when you are anywhere near it. If you look close enough at this picture, there are people hiking around the base of it.
Sunset is the big event at Uluru. It's a much more convenient time than sunrise to watch the changing light on the rock.
