Red dunes of the Finke Race

I can't call this 'big red' because I believe there is one of those already named on the Simpson Desert.
Nonetheless there are lots of beautiful red dunes around Alice Springs and the desert skies are magic.

such fierce contrast between earth and sky

The red earth looks beautiful against the blue sky

The colour is amazing. Are they paddy melons near the top on the left hand side?

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love the tones and hues of the red earth against the blue sky - great use of complimentary colours .Interesting clouds and sky .

The blue and red contrast brings out the best in both! Beautiful shot! Missing the motorcycle jump, that would have been cool ;-)
