Things of Wood and Stone

When you are in Central and Northern Australia, you cant help but feel that the bones of the Earth, are very close to the surface.  Its an old landscape, where things have been worn down for beyond the reach of everyday thought.

And clinging to these bones is a thin flesh of trees; holding on and holding together.

These pictures were taken at Ubirr, a famous rock art site in the Kakadu National Park.

  1. Nature creates various interesting formations. It never stops surprising. Each continent has its own specifics. The national park you write about is also known in Poland.
