About Sunrise over the Outback near Alice Springs.... Had to get up at 3.30 am but it was worth every second!!!! As it's been in the 30 degrees Centigrade the last few days (way too hot to do anything, at least for me, so I 'dove' into my old files) it took me back to the dessert where those temperatures are normal... ;-D!!!

Beautiful sunrise colors and I love the silhouettes! You are very dedicated to wake up at 3:30!! very well done. :)

Nice composition and colours. Might be worth cloning out the lens flare

Barry's beaten me to it.... lens flare... Such a pity not to get rid of it. And most unlike you, the horizon is tilted left Petal. Lovely sun and sky here too. I love Alice Springs - I spent a month there is 1987/1988 and throughly enjyed it. Such beautiful scenery, fantastic swimming and that wonderful dry air smell of the desert. And of course the people - such an incredible sense of humour! Definitely one place in Australia I would go back to.

Ahh.... thanks for bringing those memories back!

Hi there Alastair,
Hmmm, the lens flare, funny me... I kind of like it... looks like a traffic light in the sky... ;-D!!! But you asked, I deliver.... without flare..
Then the horizon... those are the McDonnell Ranges... so not straight... if you look at the top(s) of the balloons, they look level to me... but hey even I can be wrong (or not... ;-D!!!).

With or without... you decide..

This is a great triangle composition and the little rainbow is icing on the cake. Very nice picture. Don.

Wow, what a beauty of nature, and what a moment you've captured here, Petal. Congratulations!


Brenda Guiles   {K:6128} 6/27/2005
I think this is a lovely image even with the flare, kind of a mini rainabow in the sky! :)


Manu     {K:13094} 6/27/2005
Must admit I prefer it wouthout the distraction of the flare....makes for a clearer and better balanced shot...well done.

I like the lens flare it seems to add a magical/mystical look to it an excellent composition
