The Red Centre

Our lunch stop on the way South into Alice Springs. The 'highway' goes straight down the middle of Australia, North to South, Darwin to Adelaide (well Port Augusta actually).

Love the red earth.

Amazing red earth !

[Issi Bannerman]

Fabulous colours.

I love this wonderful nature scene and colour, we have some areas which look very similar. Fabulous capture of the textures.

Magnificent, can only be the red centre

Red sand - have never seen sand so red. Looks like the area lacks rain - well something like here.

What a view!

Beautiful country shot.Fav.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The color of the soil here is really amazing. Great shot!

[Shutterbug]

I love the beautiful red soil. Is this like our Death Valley where it comes alive with blossoms when a little rain finally comes?

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[eDorre]

Beautiful textures and colors

[Wylie]

@shutterbug49 Somewhat, but that is more pronounced further west. There have been some rain events here over the last couple of years and the vegetation and small birds have had a bumper growth.

[haskar]

Great details and colours.

[Delwyn Barnett]

Pretty striking!

[Erika]

Amazing red color.
